Kicking It is a new documentary, directed by Susan Koch, that follows seven players in the Homeless World Cup, an annual street soccer competition involving teams from 50 countries. As narrator and Executive Producer Colin Farrell observes, "Through the simple and beautiful game of football the complex struggle to find meaning and purpose in life is being won by over 20 thousand homeless people all over the world."

This project helps support the Homeless World Cup and the national grassroots football projects organizing the teams (and players) featured in the film. Help kick homelessness — a ball can change your life.
