The capital of U.S. soccer is San Diego and the city warmly welcomes pelada, the amazing movie about pick up street soccer. "Our movie trys to show the world one game at a time. It's inspiring to see all of the different cultures who love the same game, although often playing in much worse of circumstances than we do here in the US. No matter what, people find a way to play--even if it means playing on a garbage dump or playing at midnight after you've worked all day," says Gwendolyn Oxenham.
This must see movie for all soccer enthusiasts is coming to San Diego. Highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike, pelada offers a unique insight into how the game of soccer unites people around the world and how a simple ball being kicked around by people of all ages,cultures, races and religions can bring pleasure and joy.
