Synopsis
Playing soccer makes me feel like I am somebody. Somebody who is seen amongst others. Now people can see that I am here.
- Janet ‘China’ MPALUME/ Striker
A group of HIV women, in one of Zimbabwe’s poorest townships, decide to form a football team and win a tournament trophy. They start off barely being able to kick a ball. People laugh at them; ask them how women, especially sick ones, can possibly play football.
The team persists because they want to show the world that even though they are HIV infected they are just like everybody else. Their hope: if they win the tournament, people will stop looking down on them and treat them as equals.
