Goal Dreams for a 2006 Palestinian World Cup team
Created: 19/02/08
Goal Dreams is an entertaining, nail-biting documentary about the efforts to bring together a national Palestinian soccer team for the 2006 World Cup. While the story is somewhat a tragic-comedy, it is very educational, showing the reality for Palestinians who need to use the famous Rafah crossing. There is also interesting footage of Palestinian diaspora life around the world, including in Chile, Lebanon (the tragic Nahr al-Bared refugee camp, now destroyed), New York, and Gaza.
The footage includes the FIFA refusal to recognize the extraordinary problems faced by Palestinians, but ignores the Israeli bombing of the (empty) Gaza football stadium at around that time.
