A drama about political prisoners playing soccer at Robben Island prison, where Nelson Mandela was held.

Told through the stories of five former prisoners, this is the story of political activists sent to the notorious Robben Island prison in the 1960s by the apartheid regime, who rise above their incarceration by creating a football league and finding an outlet for their passion and commitment to discipline through the Beautiful Game.—Anonymous
