What happens
Le Ballon d’or est un film franco-guinéen réalisé par Cheik Doukouré, sorti en 1994. La vie de Salif Keita, premier ballon d'or africain en 1970, inspira le scénario du film. Un roman pour la jeunesse sous le même titre, écrit par Yves Pinguilly et paru en 1994, a été tiré du film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
