AFRICA UNITED
Directed by Debs Gardner-Paterson
Written by Rhidian Brook
Not Rated - 85 mins

Three Rwandan children, football prodigy Fabrice, his best friend and 'manager' Dudu, and Dudu's little sister Beatrice sneak onto a bus and set off to Rwanda's capital city, Kigali, to audition for the opening ceremony of the 2010 World Cup.but it's the wrong bus and they end up in the Congo. Lost in a dangerous country, without papers, money or a believable story, they are taken to a children's refugee camp where they meet the mysterious teenager Foreman George. They decide to head straight to Johannesburg, in South Africa, for the opening ceremony.  En route they are joined by escaped sex worker Celeste and together they travel 3,000 miles, surviving wild animals, the elements and gun-wielding thugs Tulu and Egg.  Armed with ingenuity, determination and blind optimism, their travels  through Rwanda, Congo, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa  reveal a side of Africa few people ever see. AFRICA UNITED is a story of joy, laughter, hope and generosity  the 'ubuntu' spirit in which the children make this incredible journey together.

"You have to admire the young actors' spirited acting ...Especially fun and the landscapes are enticing."  Time Out
