Éliane de Latour
2009 - 68 min - HD 16/9 - Couleur - France
From transfers to better equipped training clubs to sanctions; the tribulations of three young soccer players in Abidjan: Isidore, Bakari and Davila. Trainers and families live in the hopes raised by their boy. He is their "forward." The North/South networks that tap "tournament cattle" with the complicity of unscrupulous agents and parents make the headlines.
But in Africa there is a way of using transfers and Fifa regulations to grow with protective families and good coaches. Becoming autonomous far from the images of the Dark Continent’s never-ending enslavement.
