I like "Dream Team 1935", how Latvia unexpectedly become the first European champions in basketball in 1935. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2516280/
It must be a very big moment. Latvia is a very small country.

Yes, of course!
But Uruguay was even smaller by population when they won the first FIFA World Cup in 1930.
Comparision:
- Uruguay, 1930: ~1,875,000;
- Latvia, 1935: ~1,953,000.
But, anyway, more important is that this is great sports film. It's anyway just "based on true story".
