Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 2008 award-winning author and filmmaker Dave Bidini accompanied the poor and dispossessed players of Homeless Team Canada to the Homeless World Cupin Melbourne. What Bidini found was the ultimate underdog sporting event, alive with compelling human stories.Home and Away offers a powerful look at the homeless and disadvantaged, from the barrios of Mexico City and the shanties of West Africa to the streets of North America, Europe and Australia. Whether you're a sports fanatic or a keen observer of human nature, you'll never watch a soccer game in the same way again.With a keen eye and a pair of goalkeeping gloves, award-winning author and filmmaker Dave Bidini followed a ragtag group of soccer players, homeless residents of the Canadian streets, to Melbourne for one of the humblest, yet purest, expression of the world game- the Homeless World Cup.What he found there was the ultimate underdog sporting event. Hundreds of players had emerged from the shadows around the world-from the barrios of Mexico and the shanties of West Africa, to the streets of North America, Europe, and Australia-to share their love of the game and the natural high victory. Bidini tracks the highs and lows of the competition and its unlikely heroes- the triumphs and the frustrations, the personal demons and the disappearances, the camaraderie and the commitment.At once hilarious and moving, Home and Away reflects both the power of sport to brighten the darkest corners of life, and the tremendous resilience of the human spirit. With a keen eye and a pair of goalkeeping gloves, Dave Bidini followed a ragtag group of soccer players, homeless residents of the Canadian streets, to Melbourne for one of the humblest, yet purest, expression of the world game: the Homeless World Cup. What he found there was the ultimate underdog sporting event. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780702238949
