The new SRtRC film features some of the game's greatest players such as Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o, Lilian Thuram, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Didier Drogba, talking about their experiences of racism and offering advice on how to deal with, and combat, racism.

Ged Grebby, Project Coordinator, said: "Show Racism the Red Card are extremely pleased to continue our programme of educational events with football clubs around England in the 2008/09 season with Rotherham United FC. It is brilliant that the club have again given their full support to the campaign. This is the second SRtRC event that the club have hosted in as many seasons."

"We are excited to see how the audience reacts to the new SRtRC film, which is an excellent addition to our range of educational resources and will be available to schools from October onwards."
