Stasi FC
9pm, Sky Documentaries
In East Germany during the late 1970s, the football team you chose to support was often seen as a political statement – and the matches were the only place where you could express your political opposition. This almost outrageous feature documentary shows how the Stasi used bribery, intimidation, surveillance and possibly even assassination to ensure success for their team, BFC Dynamo. Hollie Richardson
