In 2007, during the bloodiest days of the civil war that developed in the wake of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Iraqi national soccer team defied all odds in their remarkable run towards the championship of the storied Asian Cup. Comprising the sons of sworn enemies, the national team came together to unite their country in its darkest hour. Reflecting back, the players share their two-decade journey to a victory only they believed was possible. Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Lucian Read, this riveting untold story of war, football and redemption reminds us all that, even when all hope is lost, love and humanity can prevail.

Scheduled to attend: Lucian Read (director), Adam Linehan (producer)
