In Africa, day after day, children play football endlessly everywhere, dreaming of becoming the next Messi or Drogba.

We traveled to Senegal to envision a film that captures the passion of these kids for football and the joy it brings to their everyday lives. Over the course of three days, we collaborated with young, talented elite players to create what we hope is a poetic portrayal of youth, football, and Africa.

Special thanks to AS Dakar Sacré-Coeur and especially to Mathieu Chupin, Benjamin Bonifas, Marc Chervaz, Hassane Fall, Gilles Emmanuel Diouf, Souwaibou, Youba, and all the kids who helped us bring this video to life.

Filmed with a Canon 5D Mark III using Magic Lantern RAW, and a Sony FS700 at 240 fps.
