One Goal: A Telegraph 21 Documentary Feature

by Clive Longbottom-Fellow, Esq.

One Goal

“If you want to see football in Africa, look at this.” Sergi Agustí, Director

In the past, we’ve brought you soccer-related documentaries from the fine folks over at Telegraph 21, an online video magazine that features some of the best documentary films and art videos from around the world.  This time, Telegraph 21 takes us to war-ravaged Sierra Leone, where a group of young amputee war veterans took it upon themselves to advocate for peace and demonstrate another way to deal with differences. With grit and determination, these young men have used their passion for soccer to change their lives for the better, and have become inspiring models for their communities.

Take in part of a riveting soccer game, and meet a group of extraordinary young athletes in today’s excerpt from One Goal.
