Streetball background

Streetball

In the vibrant streets of Cape Town, a group of eight rough-around-the-edges men put aside their differences to unite through the unifying force of street soccer, striving to claim their rightful place in society.

South Africa prepares to host the FIFA World Cup, with new developments and stadiums built to welcome international travelers. However, a generation still lives in extreme poverty, leading to lives of violence, drugs, and abuse. The documentary Streetball tells the stories of South Africa's 2008 Homeless World Cup team, comprising ex-convicts, former gangsters, orphans, and recovering drug addicts who band together to represent their country and prove that no one is beyond redemption.
