Club América presented the official trailer for its documentary “Dark Blue, Sky Blue,” a production that will address one of the most controversial episodes in the club's history, the case of Guillermo 'Billy' Álvarez. The trailer, which quickly became a trend on social media, hints at a strong and direct narrative about the period in which Álvarez headed the cooperative and the team, a period marked by corruption allegations, internal conflicts, and an institutional crisis that impacted both the sporting and administrative sides of the club. Under the slogan “The Dictatorship Built in Concrete,” the documentary promises to reveal unprecedented details about the rise, consolidation, and fall of one of the most powerful figures in the club's history. The turbulent past of Club América once again took center stage, but this time from a new vantage point: cinema. The project will combine archival footage, interviews, and testimonies that seek to reconstruct what happened during more than three decades of management. The release date for the film, which will premiere in theaters in Mexico, has not yet been set. It was developed in conjunction with Cinemex and will feature figures from the club's inner circle, including players and executives who lived through the most tense moments within the institution firsthand. The documentary once again puts Billy Álvarez in the spotlight. He was at the helm of the cooperative from the late 1980s until 2020, when investigations began against him for alleged crimes such as money laundering, organized crime, and tax fraud, which led to his departure and subsequent legal proceedings. The Dictatorship Built in Concrete. Discover the truth behind the scandal. #DarkBlueSkyBlue - Coming soon to Cinemex. Beyond the media impact, the release also revives an era that left deep divisions within Club América, both in its corporate structure and its soccer team, marking one of the darkest chapters in the institution's recent history. With this release, Club América is not only betting on telling its story but also on reopening a debate that for years has divided opinions among fans, partners, and analysts, now with a narrative that promises to reveal what has, until now, remained off-screen.
