Those folks at the Kicking and Screening Soccer Film Festival have once again made their weekly choice and it is a great one. We were lucky enough to be present when they viewed this and as stated it brought down the house of closing night a few years ago.
This flick features a quartet of friends over four months and futbol, South American style. LIke the K & S Team stated, they did what at this time we cannot, took a glorious, free flowing soccer adventure through Latin America. Directors Peter Karl & Petar Madjarac told a great tale. They traversed 7,000 miles, 8 nations to find one goal, the soul of futbol. Given few things such as food and music, so to is soccer a universal language. They spoke it with great ease as they went about their travels, through Mexico, Colombia & Brazil, they brought us along for their stories and passion surrounding the beautiful game.
Madjarac stated "Soccer was out passport on this journey. It helped us cross the US/Mexico border, bonded us to a team once run by a Colombian drug cartel; introduced us to a blind soccer team in Bogota and explained how soccer impacts racism in Ecuador. This was the trip of a lifetime, and it showed us-and hopefully the viewers will see this-the power of soccer to be more than just a game."
