    Absolutely love the concept. I really love the beauty of the game of soccer. It's a simple game that brings people of all colors, religions, political ideologies and gender together. Well done folks.

    Beautiful doesn't give this documentary justice. It's poetic. It's symbolic. It's patriotic. It's romantic. It's cultured. It's a masterpiece. I can't say enough about the documentary. This is the beautiful game at it's purest. It still baffles me 27 years into my life how a little white ball can transcend lives and break barriers.

    I loved the look of this. A great story for sure. I love people that can get up and make something by their own volition. Huge props to the filmmakers.

    Have you seen this film by two Dutch filmmakers. Really great too, and has a similar emotional tone to it.
