Africa United is the extraordinary story of three Rwandan kids who walk 3000 miles to the Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Using a sack load of ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized protagonists set off through the endless horizons of Africa in pursuit of an unlikely dream. And as they walk they gather a tribe - a ragamuffin team - of broken and brilliant characters who help them negotiate a way through a series of glorious, dangerous, hilarious and often bizarre situations. Through these kids, we will encounter an Africa few people ever get to see; experience the hard reality of an epic walk through seven countries; as well as the joy, laughter and hope - the ubuntu - that comes from making an incredible journey together.

Gorgeous movie! What one child in particular will do to allow everyone to achieve a dream! I would love to see this film shown in schools. It has a good deep heart to it that so many kids today just never get to see and experience in their worlds of take take take / me me me.
