Watch World Cup Stories online: Episode 3 France: Black, White & Blue

In France, the national football team has always been the subject of scrutiny and controversy. But this controversy hasn't just been confined to activities on the pitch. Black, White and Blue tells the story of French football's finest hour: how their multi-racial, multi-coloured team succeeded where every other French team had failed by winning the World Cup in 1998, 68 years after another Frenchman, Jules Rimet, had finally seen his vision for a global football tournament realised. Featuring interviews with the greatest names in French footballing history, this programme uncovers the complex relationship between a national team whose successes and uniquely fluid "champagne" football have always drawn heavily on players from immigrant backgrounds.
