Synopsis

In the Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan, Mahmoud and Fawzi are best friends. Though they face an uncertain future and hostile everyday conditions, they focus their time and energy on their one true passion: football. Despite the harsh realities of the camp, they practice every day, believing that they have the abilities to become professional footballers. When Aspire Academy – one of the world’s leading sports academies – arrive to pick players for an international tournament in Doha, Mahmoud and Fawzi have the opportunity of a lifetime to display their abilities and represent refugees on the world stage. ‘Captains of Zaatari’ is a timely documentary which presents refugees with empathy and compassion, highlighting the humanity behind the ongoing global crisis.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
