08 / 1 (event) Homeless World Cup - bike in movie Start: 8:00 pm End: 10:55 pm bike in movie at treasure city thrift • 1720 e 12th friday august 1, 8pm KICKING IT In the summer of 2006, while the football world's attention was focused on Germany, thousands of players around the globe were training hard and competing to be part of the World Cup...The Homeless World Cup. It began in 2001 as a wild idea —to give homeless people a chance to change their lives through an international street soccer competition. Five years later, the annual Homeless World Cup had become an internationally recognized sports competition. The film follows seven players in their own tough worlds as they confront the daily challenges of life on the streets, battle drug and alcohol addiction, and fight for the right to be recognized as human beings. We witness their struggles, hopes, and determination. As the Russian coach observes, "To me, football is the best model for real life. There is no last game in football and there is no last game in real life. You always have another chance to win." movie info at www.kickingitthefilm.com location info at www.treasurecitythrift.org more info
