How to play football without a football pitch.


This film is based on a true story. In 1986 a football team that lived on a little island in the south of Thailand called "Koh Panyee". It's a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil. The kids here loved to watch football but had nowhere to play or practice. But they didn't let that stop them.

A bit of history, Ko Panyi or Pulau Panji is a fishing village located in southern Thailand, the population consist of roughly 200 families, descended from 2 seafaring Muslim families from the island of Jawa, Indonesia.
