ABOUT SOKA AFRIKA
For many young soccer players in Africa, signing with a club in Europe is not a dream, but the only dream. It is a hard dream to realize, with countless pitfalls, from unscrupulous agents to injuries, broken promises to family shame. This documentary explores the good, the bad, and the ugly of soccer immigration from Africa to Europe, as seen through the journeys of two young players, Kermit Erasmus from South Africa and Ndomo Sabo from Cameroon.
Director: Suridh Hassan
Producer: Simon Laub
Executive Producers: Sam Potter, Ryo Sanada
Radio Free Soccer is pleased to partner with K+S for a
#SoccerSocialHour to help llaunch of the soccer film Soka Afrika.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’ And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
