Africa: Football as a religious arena
29.03.2006
War between Villages, one of four documentaries in 'The African Dream' series, is about sport in Africa and shows the annual football competition between villages in Senegal. As so much hangs on the sport, including the honour of the villages themselves, villagers turn for assistance to spiritual methods of support, not wanting to rely only on their own prowess and ability. Football on One Leg Reportage shows how the people of Sierra Leone in general are trying to rebuild their lives after the recent devastating civil war there and this film shows how a special group of youngsters are turning to football.
