Wild In The Streets is a film about the ancient game of Shrovetide; the lifeblood of an English market town and the origin of soccer, American football and rugby.
Toward the end of winter on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday the people of Ashbourne gather in the center of their town to renew the longest running sports rivalry on earth. The game is called Shrovetide Football and originates from two medieval communities living opposite side the river Henmore. Today, they are known as the Upards and Downards.
