Directed by Pablo de la Chica
During the LRA conflict, childhood was snatched from thousand kids in North Uganda. Thousands of them stopped being children, they stopped dreaming and they became a forgotten generation. Mao is one of those children, his dream is to meet his idols face to face one day. He takes refuge in sports to forget about the past but, above all, Mao plays football to feel free.
