Synopsis

Sami and Ali dream of playing for the school football team and practise in the park every day to improve their skills. As the trials approach, they face a different challenge when they are made to feel they do not belong because of the colour of their skin.

Ali wants to focus on football, but finds himself having to confront racism within the team, even when it is dismissed as “just banter”. The story centres on friendship and the need to challenge prejudice.
