"For The Love Of (Blind) Football", a short documentary,
highlights how a small organization in Uganda is helping the visually impaired play
soccer
LOS
ANGELES, Dec. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
clamoring of voices and shouting fills the air and a foot is placed
upon a ball. At this moment, a small distinct rattle is heard.
Players run around the pitch in what seems to be a normal soccer
match. But, this is no normal soccer match, because this match is
being played by two teams formed entirely of blind persons.
A short documentary, "For The Love Of (Blind) Football", has
been released that share the story of these blind football
players.
This documentary, shot on location in Uganda, follows a few individuals who play in
a league that has been formed specifically for the visually
impaired. It shares with us the human experience of those with
physical limitations and the struggle to interact normally,
especially in part of the world where opportunities for the
disabled are limited.
Director Jarett Horton came
across Blind Football Uganda when the league was featured on CNN
and became intrigued by their story. "Being a soccer player myself
this story especially touched me," said Jarett Horton, explaining why he chose to make
the short documentary on the blind footballers. "The determination
each player showed, even with disabilities, is something I carry
with me everyday."
Blind Football Uganda brings all the benefits of being part of a
group sport to the players: physical activity, being a team player,
leadership skills, and more. In a region of the world where
opportunities for the visiually-impaired are greatly lacking, this
league is glimmer of hope.
"For the Love of (Blind) Football" is to be released on Black
Excellence YouTube channel where they have curated a library full
of celebrating everything incredible about Black culture. This
documentary has now given those under-represented individuals with
physical limitations a platform to be seen alongside everything
great within the culture they share.
The documentary will be available for streaming December 1st, 2022
