The Game of Their Lives (천리마 축구단) or "Chollima Chookgudan" is a 2002 documentary film directed by Daniel Gordon with Nicholas Bonner of Koryo Tours as an associate producer about the seven surviving members of the North Korean national football team who participated in the 1966 FIFA World Cup. Its victory over Italy propelled the North Korean team into the quarterfinal: it was the first time an Asian team had advanced so far in a World Cup.
