"Soccer-South of the Umbilo" Official Trailer

TRAILER TO "SOCCER-SOUTH OF THE UMBILO"
South of the city of Durban on the east coast of South Africa, is an area consisting of a handful of middle to low income suburbs which are linked not only through their geography but more importantly through their love for football. This area is affectionately known as 'South of the Umbilo' and is responsible for producing many talented footballing personalities. An area where the ruffians and footballers mixed to form a lifelong bond, a bond born out of passion, determination and a unique and undying love for the game of football.

Directed by John Barker, the film pays tribute to his father Clive Barker, the well known South African coach who led Bafana Bafana to victory in the 1996 African Cup of Nations. Also featured are the stars from that era including Mark Fish, Doc Khumalo, Lucas Radebe, Andre Arendse and Neil Tovey.

Through a series of interviews with players and coaches from this south basin, such as Gordon Igesund, Professor Ngubane, Brummie De Leur, Calvin Petersen, Roger de Sa, Sean Dundee, George Dearnaley, Dennis Wesley, Clinton Larsen and Dillon Sheppard, John asks the questions: What is it about this area that it has bred so many of South Africa's greats? Why did everyone play football? And will the glory days ever return?
