The documentary Changing the Game directed by Shilpi Gupta (When the Storm Came, Al Qarem) tells the story of an unusual football tournament in which six teenagers from three continents met.
The raging AIDS epidemic in South Africa, the military conflict between Israel and Palestine, the American ghettos of Philadelphia – each of these territories has become a home for boys who dream of winning their first Cup. Fate put them on the brink of survival, and yet the characters of this film continue to be the most ordinary children who had to grow up too early. Today they are united by street football, and tomorrow, perhaps, these teenagers will decide the fate of the planet. About the journey to the dream and the tournament, unlike other competitions, the creators of the picture tell, carefully preserving the individuality of the characters, each of whom deserves special attention. close
