Kicking It chronicles the 4th Annual Homeless World Cup, where 500 homeless soccer players from 48 nations traveled to Cape Town, South Africa to represent their countries. The players have been knocked down by life, hailing from such disparate parts of the world as war torn Afghanistan, the slums of Kenya, the drug rehab clinics of Dublin, Ireland, the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, the overflowing public shelters of Madrid, Spain, and the unforgiving city of St. Petersburg, Russia, where the homeless have no rights or identity. For more information on the film, go here.
The Homeless USA Cup will be in Washington, DC this weekend (starting on Friday, June 27) at the site of the old D.C. Convention Center (11th and H Streets, NW). Viewing is free and open to the public so come down and check it out (of course you have to cheer for the D.C. team!) The complete schedule of the weekend’s events can be found here, the match schedule can be found here.
