20 ans d’archives retracent la dramatique histoire d’une rivalité grandissante entre les deux légendes du Snowboard, Kevin Pearce et Shaun White. Les deux amis d’enfance sont aux sommets de leur art, convoitent et se disputent le titre de champion du monde, multipliant les risques dans le but de surpasser l’autre. Jusqu’au jour où Kevin chute, grièvement blessé et atteint de lésions cérébrales, il sombre dans le coma tandis que Shaun gravit la première place du podium. A son réveil, Kevin n’a plus qu’une idée en tête, remonter sur sa planche et embrasser de nouveau sa passion malgré les mises en garde des médecins. Le moindre choc à la tête pourrait le tuer et sa famille craint le pire. L’ex champion doit alors lutter contre l’appel irrésistible mais potentiellement mortel des sports extrêmes.

The documentary covers the period from Manchester United's FA Youth Cup win in 1992 to their Champions League triumph in 1999, which rounded off the Treble-winning 1998–99 season. The film cuts the narrative with the social and cultural changes taking place in Great Britain at the time.

The film follows 13-year-old football starlet Pablo Rosario around for a year, Pablo is thirteen and follows a general secondary education, while playing for local football club DWS, the same club that produced the likes of Frank Rijkaard and Ruud Gullit, Dutch international football stars who both found their start in the youth ranks of this same club. Just like many soccer playing boys his age, Pablo dreams of one day playing for FC Barcelona. His coach is convinced of the young boys talent and foresees a great future for him. Filmmaker Jack Janssen follows Pablo for a whole year, a year where all three of the Dutch big three Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord express an interest in contracting the young child. Janssen shows Pablo's performance on the pitch, where he is able to effortlessly dissect his opponents, with his family watching, where his father showers him with well-intended, but oftentimes inconsistent advice. At school things are running less smoothly for young Pablo, while the film offers insight into the world of a young professional soccer player, where a continuous and often even tougher battle for young talents is fought by the top clubs.
