How do you attempt to clean up the corruption of your organization? Why, make a movie, of course!

United Passions is about the founders of FIFA and how they "dealt with corruption" throughout the 20th century.

It grossed a whopping $900 on its opening weekend.

Tropes used in United Passions include:

Character Shilling: The film shamelessly shilled for the FIFA executives, just as when they were dogged by a corruption scandal.
Historical Hero Upgrade: FIFA themselves have this, with no mention of their corruption whatsoever.
Hypocrite: The climax revolves around Blatter coaxing his colleagues to support his anti-corruption campaign by blackmailing them.
Product Placement: One of the major plot points is FIFA securing the rights of Coca-Cola and Adidas.
Stock Footage: Plenty of it from every World Cup, with no re-enactments whatsoever.
