Streetball

In the vibrant city of Cape Town, a group of men from difficult pasts find common ground and a sense of purpose through their love of street soccer, as they strive to overcome their challenges and earn the respect of their community.

South Africa prepares to host the FIFA World Cup, but amidst celebrations, a generation remains trapped in poverty, with many youth succumbing to violence, drugs, and abuse. The documentary "Streetball" tells the stories of the 2008 Homeless World Cup team, comprising ex-convicts, former gangsters, orphans, and recovering drug addicts who band together to represent their country, proving that no one is beyond redemption.
