Goal for Hope - One year after the FIFA World Cup

Funded by HIVsport for the HIVsport / EuropeAID - Sport and HIV film competition, 19 year old Brian Mjiyakho got the chance to be trained by Hillside Digital and Siyakhona to direct his first film. This, his first film, won the competition.

What has the FIFA World Cup left behind in Africa? One year on from the biggest sporting event in South Africa's history, our film looks at the REAL difference that football can make -- and the real superstars of the game who are working every day to give Africa's youth a better chance at survival.

Goal for Hope follows the Grassroot Soccer coaches as they fight the spread of HIV and AIDS using their innovative curriculum. A key part of the Grassroot Soccer philosophy is the 'coach's story', where they talk about their personal experience of HIV. We follow a group of young coaches who are themselves responsible for leading and inspiring a new generation. We share their stories of how HIV has affected them and how they are inspiring others and watch as they try to implement a new programme aimed specifically at getting girls involved in soccer.
