A racially diverse youth soccer team comprised largely of immigrant players from a multitude of different countries, races and religions come together to achieve the unthinkable in this entertaining true account of inclusion, acceptance and brotherhood on the tattered road to victory. The story tells how this diverse collection of immigrant boys and their families bonded with the existing white American players and families, coming together to overcome numerous challenges, adversity and racism. Though they had little in common, other than their love of the game, they became an extended family of sorts and learned to embrace one another and celebrate their differences on their path to winning several State Championships. A truly inspirational story for our country and our world and a unifying message for these turbulent times.
