- Synopsis
- Hong Kong's Dawn Football Team is going to the World Cup – soccer's Homeless World Cup – and eight places are up for grabs. This gritty documentary follows the fortunes of three men hoping to make the cut – an ex-gang member fighting his inner demons, a reformed gambler picking up the pieces of his shattered life, and a handsome college drop-out struggling to go back to his studies. Shot over a year, HOMELESS FC is an intimate portrait of those who have crash-landed on the unforgiving streets of Hong Kong, where they walk the line between hope and despair.
