Amidst the heart of a nation struggling to survive is a man with a program bringing hope to those most in need.

On the streets of Harare, Zimbabwe, a young optimist, Tawanda, leads a program for orphans and homeless young people that sees them gathering each day to play soccer. There's one thing they all have in common - the love of the round ball. In 2008, the team prepares to travel to Melbourne, Australia, to take on over fifty other nations at the Homeless World Cup - a tournament that is striving to put an end to homelessness. But in the turmoil in Zimbabwe, just getting there may be their greatest challenge.
