DESCRIPTION
The 19-year-old Ballah helps his father in the tailor’s workshop, but in fact he dreams of becoming a world-famous footballer in Europe. This goal is extremely difficult to achieve in Zorzor, a small town in Liberia, not so long ago affected by the Ebola epidemic. Ballah is trying to convince a local catechist, who is sceptical about football dreams, to his idea.
