The Premier of “Kicking It”
“Kicking It,” a new documentary film directed by Susan Koch, provides a glimpse into the Homeless World Cup tournament. This provocative film showcases the story of seven impoverished men whose lives are deeply affected after playing in the 2006 tournament in Cape Town South Africa. I ask you, do you think soccer or sport for that matter can be used as a vehicle for social change? Let’s hear your perspective!
