They eventually succumbed to the eventual winners Portugal, as Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani scored in the space of three minutes to end their fairy-tale run.
The film is fittingly named after the Wales fans' Euro 2016 anthem on the terraces, and premieres on St David's Day in selected cinemas before releasing across the UK two days later.

However any notion that the documentary movie is a feel-good film right from the off is far from correct - it starts with a poignant tribute to former player and manager Gary Speed who sadly passed away in 2011.
A group of young players had to come to terms with the death of their hero and role model, and five years later shook Europe to be considered Welsh legends.
In the space of four years, they rose from 117th in the world rankings - behind the likes of Guatemala and Haiti, to eight spot.
No other team in history has risen up the rankings quicker than Wales.
Filmmaker Jonny Owen said of his masterpiece: "It’s not just the Euros, it’s a story of a team and a country recovering from the tragedy of Gary Speed’s passing. And it’s Chris Coleman’s story of having to cope with that and with a team still grieving.
"It took them a long time to recover from that as it would, but then by the time the Euros came round we were all talking about the golden generation, potentially the best team we’ve had since the greats of 1958 – and they delivered in qualifying finally.
"But what is so great and so remarkable about the story is that I’m very aware that we didn’t win it. So it’s not in any way triumphal.
"But what you can’t deny is that when Wales finally got on to the big stage we revelled in it."
