In this four-part documentary series, footballers with dual nationality describe what it means to give everything for a country and still have to prove that you belong. Manuel Akanji, Breel Embolo, Ivan Rakitić and Albian Hajdari offer an insight into a life straddling two cultures and talk about the choices they've made, loyalty and the price of belonging. And right in the thick of it: 17-year-old rising star Gonçalo, a goalkeeper at Grasshopper Club Zurich, who is only just beginning this journey.
