An uplifting film following an inspirational campaign to deliver footballs to the disadvantaged children of Africa.

WorldFest Houston winner: Remi Award - Best TV production

This is the unforgettable story of one man’s quest to put smiles on the faces of some of the world’s poorest children. It is a touching and joyous documentary celebrating the very essence of what unites football lovers across the globe: the simple joy of kicking a ball about.

The film follows the journey of Paul Clarke and a small team of individuals who hand deliver tens of thousands of footballs direct to the underprivileged kids of Africa’s poorest countries including Malawi, Uganda, Angola and Rwanda. Through moving personal testimony the film offers a fresh and engaging way for viewers to connect with Africa’s most challenging issues such as poverty, disease, war and landmines.

VIEWER LETTER

I saw your documentary on the Great Football Giveaway on a plane to America, and I found it extremely inspirational to watch you going round the different countries putting smiles on childrens faces with the simple act of giving them a football - I never really appreciated how children from different cultures across the world could have a smile put on their faces by something as simple, and even trivial by our standards maybe, as a football.

I was therefore inspired to go onto your website by your documentary, and see if I could help in any way. Unfortunately, being a university student in their final year, I don't have any money to donate to you, but I was emailing to ask if there was any other way I could offer support? Thanks for your time
Peter Bulkeley.
