A Place for Playing (Kick Off) (NR)

synopsis

"Kick Off" transports you wholesale into an unfamiliar world -- a community of refugees living in a stadium in Kirkuk, Iraq -- with the help of a vivid, universal script; the utterly familiar world of small-town football; and the brilliant direction of a cast of unknowns. Kick Off took the top prize at Dubai’s Gulf Film Festival, with Korki hailed as leading a renaissance in Iraqi cinema.
