The unforgettable story of two Somali National Football Team friends chasing their dreams in the face of impossible odds. It’s a survival story, a human rights story, and a rare sports journey principally shot and produced in Kenya, Somalia, and the United States. For three years, we have worked to capture the Somali story through the eyes of footballing friends bound by a shared dream to inspire their countrymen.
