Mario Balotelli and Patrick Vieira Set to Feature in New Documentary on Racism in Football

Italy striker Mario Balotelli is one of a number of stars involved in a soon to be released French documentary on racism in football.

The documentary, titled 'Je ne suis pas un singe' (I am not a monkey), was made by Marc Sauvourel and former AS Roma and Leeds United midfielder Olivier Dacourt.

The programme, which will be shown on Canal+ on January 6, features interviews and segments with the likes of Balotelli, his current Nice manager and former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira and ex-Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o.

In an early released clip, Balotelli comments on the racial abuse he has received over the course of his career, including in his homeland of Italy.
