A documentary film about Bad Blue Boys, the Zagreb-based group of football fans who became a symbol of political resistance during President Franjo Tuđman's regime. Claiming that FC Dinamo's name had been imposed by the communist regime, Tuđman changed it into FC Croatia, triggering Bad Blue Boys' rage. The conflict between the fans and the president who tried everything in his power to suppress their fight for the old name culminated on the city's central square, when the Bad Blue Boys booed president Tuđman.
BBB is the first Croatian documentary film that screened in theaters longer than two weeks.
