Follow-up programme to the 2019 Bafta Scotland-winning Real Kashmir FC which sees former Aberdeen and Rangers star Davie Robertson return to India to manage Real Kashmir FC.

Davie hoped many of the problems of last year would be solved, but on the very same day that he arrives the team are thrown into a political firestorm as Kashmir鈥檚 devolved status is abolished, with the state being brought under the direct control of India. Landing in Kolkata for the prestigious Durand Cup, he must deal with players who are unable to leave Kashmir to join him, and the players that are there can't call home as the phone lines to Kashmir have been cut.
In a bizarre twist of fate, the team are drawn against the Indian army team and Davie struggles to control his fiery temper. At the end of the game, there are tears from the Kashmiri players.

Joining Davie this year is Kallum Higginbotham, a veteran player of the English Championship and SPL. Kallum is a passionate player and he explodes during training, prompting a rebuke from Davie - this is not how you handle things in India. Organizing and motivating a diverse team drawn from India, Africa and Europe to play top-flight football is no easy task.

Return to Real Kashmir FC his is not just a footballing story, it is also a story of hopes, dreams, and family. Davie鈥檚 long-suffering but fiery wife Kym eyerolls at his decision to return to Kashmir and she takes some pleasure in hearing of Davie's suffering up the highest road in the world. Davie has sacrificed a lot for his dream, and upon his arrival to a conflict-riven Srinagar, still reeling from Kashmir鈥檚 annexation to India, Davie wonders if it's all worth it.
