The Flying Stars

Bornor plays amputee soccer in Sierra Leone to cope with the trauma he suffered in the civil war, but his demons threaten his World Cup dreams and the family he loves.

Team captain Bornor Kargbo and midfielder Census Jalloh are amputees who play organized soccer in Sierra Leone to cope with the horrors of war they suffered a decade ago. As they dream of competing internationally, they wrestle with nightmares that haunt their daily lives and threaten the very families they are trying to feed. Can Bornor and Census overcome their postwar trauma and score a victory for their children off the soccer pitch?
