Well constructed film albeit a little longer than necessary in reviewing some of the characters otherwise an interesting insight in to the aspirations of these young men. The plight of them, especially when they are exploited by the game's charlatans is heartbreaking but their persistence is to be lauded. Perhaps it could have been shortened by shortening the time spent on each character a little and perhaps a précis of their achievements at the end of the film. Well researched and investigative journalism on a subject largely unknown outside the African sub continent. For anyone interested in the game and the heartache experienced by 99.9% of the aspiring players it is worth watching.
