This movie was touching. I had no idea the Homeless World Cup was even a thing and I am glad it is! This movie was about compassion, dignity, hope and purpose. The discipline and commitment to show up even when everything is in Flux!
The Vinny character made me angry. His pain affected those around him. He was emotionally homeless before he was physically homeless, ready to uproot at the drop of a dime. His callous and hurtful behavior toward a teammate was disgusting. Trauma is never pretty and emotional landmines result in shrapnel that wounds anyone around them.
The other countries that were featured touched my heart. Homelessness is a global crisis. This competition was a once in a lifetime experience for many, I am sure. I was grateful I saw it!
I used to he homeless. I remember when I found my purpose. Everything changed.
