En compétition à Sundance, cet éblouissant documentaire incarne les espoirs des réfugiés syriens à travers l'histoire de deux amis footballeurs. 700 heures de rushes, 6 ans de tournage, un espoir qui déplace les montagnes. Puisse ce film contribuer à la cause. Concrètement.

CAPTAINS OF ZAATARI - Magnífico documental que sigue a dos jóvenes futbolistas y refugiados sirios. Es una historia universal de esperanza y superación a través de la persecución de sueños, que recuerda el poder del fútbol para cambiar vidas #Sundance2021 laestatuilla.com/criticas/cr…

#Sundance Movie 39: Captains of Zaatari. A great little movie about the grandeur of sports and dreams coming into conflict with the harsh realities of the real world. #CaptainsOfZaatari

Caught up with CAPTAINS OF ZAATARI - which was truly great - but I really wish it was a HOOP DREAMS-style 3-hour-long sports doc so that I could get more of Mahmoud and Fawzi’s world. #Sundance2021

Captains of Zaatari is a brilliantly touching look at two young Syrian boys from a refugee camp who dare to dream their love of football can take them across the world. Storytelling at its finest with characters you’ll think about long after.

CAPTAINS OF ZAATARI follows two Syrian soccer players, making their way from a Jordanian refugee camp to a tournament in Qatar. A poignant and inspiring story of friendship and daring to dream, even when the world has said that you shouldn't. An important piece of filmmaking.
