Streetkids United 3 - The Road To Moscow (2019) 12

Netherlands | 2019 | 60 min.

Empowering story of 9 Indian girls who are chosen by the Karunalaya Social Service Society to represent their country at the Street Child World Cup 2018 in Moscow, Russia. The girls had a rough start living on the streets, where they faced abuse and violence on a daily basis. They are an inspiration to everyone who meets them because of their positive and uplifting spirit. They see the event as an opportunity to share their plight to the world. They hope to become a role model for other street children and show that street children are somebody. The Street Child World Cup uses the power of football to raise awareness and tackle the widespread stigma faced by street-connected children, inspiring countries, governments and communities to better protect, respect and support street-connected children worldwide.
