Within the recent movement that seems to have started regarding introducing ourselves how can you get successful soccer players so that they have access to income with figures full of zeros (on the right), with the capacity to generate passions around the world and with millionaire audiences around the world eager to consume merchandising, the film is released Black diamonds. In Peques and Más we have commented on two works, the book Children Soccer Players that explains how the obsession of families is to turn the child into a footballer and sell it, through rights, from a very young age. Or the documentary, I want to be Messi. Both works encourage us to reflect on how football has become a powerful industry that needs to feed on new successful players and yet it seems that it is never enough.
The movie Black diamonds It is directed by Miguel Alcantud Who has also written the script. It's about a drama starring Guillermo Toledo, Carlos Bardem, Carlo D'Ursi, Santiago Molero, Ana Risueño and Antonio Barroso among others. The film is distributed by Splendor Films. The film talks about how players arrive in Europe from Africa with 15 years and with the promise that they would be soccer stars. In this fiction Amadou Y Moussa, childhood friends, are caught in Mali by a scout, separated from their families and brought to Madrid to succeed.
Players travel through Spain, Portugal and northern Europe, they are taught the shadows of football and they are made to participate in a business that does not accept them as children but as Black diamonds.
Guillermo Toledo, Carlos Bardem and Carlo D'Ursi, are the face of unscrupulous agents who capture the two stars in Mali. The exit of the country demonstrates that the traffic of people is still in force and that although they are denounced it is necessary to make films like this to continue emphasizing how many people in the world are treated.
Our fellow Blog Blogs indicate that it presents a part of football that is not known and that makes reference to how difficult it is for very poor children but with talent to handle the ball, fight for their dream. To achieve this, they have very few resources and have to flee to the families without knowing if they will achieve success and in any case they will never return for shame and humiliation in the event that they fail to succeed.
