Pelada is a documentary following Luke and Gwendolyn, two former college soccer stars who didn’t quite make it to the pros.  Not ready for it to be over, they take off, chasing the game.  From prisoners in Bolivia to moonshine brewers in Kenya, from freestylers in China to women who play in hijab in Iran, Pelada is the story of the people who play.

You can buy tickets here.

Partial proceeds from the ticket sales will be going to United for D.C.

If you don’t know who these guys are you probably missed Kim Kolb’s latest Nestliner or Matt Mathai’s latest pics – they are both worth checking out!
