As they do all over Africa, boys in Abidjan, capital of Côte d’Ivoire, fantasise about playing football in Europe, which promises a better future for themselves and their families. The dream comes true for Odilon Kossounou, 17, when a Swedish agent arrives and takes him to a club in Stockholm. From the moment he is scouted, to his arrival in the cold North, expectations are enormous; family, agents and club pin their hopes on him.
One More Jump – click here
Celebrated Italian documentarian Manu Gerosa went to Palestine to make this film about the Gaza parkour team, who practise the sport’s breathtaking athletic feats while dreaming of an escape to Europe. Parkour involves running, jumping, vaulting and somersaulting across the rooftops of an urban environment – with its ruins and bomb sites, Gaza makes a perfect training ground for the discipline.
