The resurrection of Zambia's national football team after losing 18 players in a plane crash in Gabon in 1993. A 18-year road of reconstruction until destiny makes its move: in Gabon, Zambia becomes African Champion after a long 18 penalty-shoot-out.—Anonymous

This is the universal story of the underdog, forever underestimated but never discouraged to achieve their best when challenged. This is an epic recounting of the emotional and now legendary football journey of an African Nation. This is the recording of the Zambian National Football Team's rich history, of how the country is bound by the loss of the team off the coast of Gabon in 1993 and how they rebuilt themselves and were able to win the Africa Cup of Nations 18 years later in the same country. This is the story of the unrelenting and victorious Chipolopolo, the Copper Bullets.
