Africa United

Africa United (in UK cinemas NOW) tells the extraordinary story of three Rwandan children and their dream to take part in the opening ceremony of the football World Cup. During their 3000 mile journey, we encounter an Africa few people ever see; experience an epic adventure across seven countries; and feel the joy, laughter and hope that comes from making an incredible journey together.

First and foremost Africa United is a dramatic, heartfelt and enchanting story set to enthral family audiences worldwide. But it also provides a fantastic opportunity to raise important issues with a wide audience. Two lead characters are AIDS orphans and the friends they make along the way include a child soldier and a child in prostitution.



Former Head of the Evangelical Alliance and now International Director of Micah Challenge, Joel Edwards, has seen the film and this is what he had to say about it:

"This is an imaginative film aimed at children but dealing with grown up issues. It's a suspense drama with positive values which will not only entertain but give your youth group and Sunday School classes something to get involved in. If you are a leader with progressive ideas about educating your kids and congregation this is going to be a great tool. Anyway don't just take my word for it, please go and see it during the opening weekend 22-24 October at a cinema near you." - Joel Edwards.
