Das letzte Tabu (2025) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2025, Das letzte Tabu is a documentaire film directed by Manfred Oldenburg, running about 94 minutes.

What it’s about. Hard to imagine, but true: According to current estimates, out of 500,000 active male football professionals worldwide, under ten (10) are openly homosexual. While homosexuality hardly plays a role in other areas of life today, the topic seems to be completely taboo in professional football. The feature-length documentary THE LAST TABOO lets those who broke exactly this taboo tell their very personal stories alongside Thomas Hitzlsperger. Like the British professional footballer Justin Fashanu (*1961 in London; † 1998 in London), who broke this taboo for the first time in 1990 and paid for it with his life. His niece Amal tells his story. Marcus Urban, on the other hand, was about to make the jump to the Bundesliga as a teenager and, by deciding to come out, he also went against his big dream. The stories of the US professional Collin Martin and the British player-coach Matt Morton, on the other hand, suggest that normality is not far away.

Who’s in it. Das letzte Tabu stars Amal Fashanu as Self, Thomas Hitzlsperger as Self, Collin Martin as Self and Matt Morton as Self, among others.
