In the direct lineage of docu series like Bad Sport and Untold, The Bus: The Blues on Strike revisit a very unique event in French soccer: the strike decided aboard a bus by the National team during the 2010 World Cup to protest against the exclusion of their star player Nicolas Anelka. French media had revealed the insult directed at his coach, Raymond Domenech, at halftime of a match. The series includes never-before-heard testimonies of the main players, alongside involved parties at the time, such as Sports Minister Roselyne Bachelot.
