With the 2010 World Cup turning the spotlight on African football, this investigative documentary questions what it takes for an African player to make the transition to a top European club. Focusing on Ghana, and on a talented teenager named Francis, the film sheds light on the relationships between young players, agents, managers and bureaucrats.
