Danwei TV Hard Hat: Scoring in Beijing: Afrika United FC

Last year, the Danwei TV team made a documentary film about Beijing's African football team: African Boots of Beijing (see http://www.africanboots.com/synopsis.html).

We caught up with the team again this year to see how they were doing at the end of their season, just as World Cup hit Beijing. This short video follows the team for two important matches after they won the IFFC Leage: the Cup, and the Super Cup.

One of the teams loyal supporters also answers the question: what is it like being black and living in China?

They are not used to be in contact with Africans, so I guess some of them are ignorant. Only thing they see is negative stuff from media. But I don't think there are any violent racists tho like you can find in Europe.

IFFC is just an amateur league, some teams gets fans for the final game. The level ranges from Afrika (high level amateur who train) to beer league teams who don't train at all. Mostly the second kind.

Where did you get your source that there are sixty thousands blacks in China?

I wonder what the perception of Africans are in China. Better yet I wonder what they think about people of color? Anyone know?
