Description	The compelling documentary by the Scullion brothers follows a Calgary homeless soccer team, the Downtown Dawgs, from the beginning of their journey to the Homeless World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa. We meet seven people along the way - the players John, Mike, Adam, and Shawn, their counselor Esau Tamara, and their coach Kevin Scullion. We get to know each player and the circumstances that led them to homelessness, and we witness their failures and successes as they try to get off the street. The film gives a glimpse inside the Social Services system in the City of Calgary, and how it helps those in need. We also get the opportunity to share in the joys and sorrows of the players and the support crew as they face the problems associated with homelessness, and the attitudes of those living in Calgary. A must see for anyone concerned about social issues in urban environments and seeking solutions.

this is a sloppy choppy documentary but also compelling. I watched the whole thing and found myself starting to care about the men being profiled. Some of it was quite moving. Especially the scenes in South Africa. One might wish it to have been more polished, but in a way the lack of "professionalism" adds to the humanity of this. It's obviously a work that meant a great deal to the filmmaker.
