AFRICA UNITED takes us on an enchanting journey into the dreams and
aspirations of a football-crazy coach and his colorful ensemble of players
who have to overcome their egos - and hot blood - for a true team spirit.
Eventually, the barren country of Iceland may be the unifying factor, when
they leave history, race and religion behind to seek victory on the fields
and fulfillment in their lives. Icelandic Director Olaf Johannesson has
delivered a lively and upbeat documentary that is not so much about learning
but more about feeling and sharing a small and simple dream. * Written
