A Team for Peace

Touching, passionate, and provacative, A Team for Peace follows the riveting jouney of a group of preadolescent soccer players, half of them Palestinian, half of them Israeli, who are put together to play on an all star team - The Peace Team - and compete in the world's largest international youth soccer tournament.

Behind the concept of the team is the powerful force of Johann Olav Koss, one of the greatest winter Olympians ever and founder of children's charity Right to Play, which pormotes conflict resolution through sport in more than twenty impoverished countries. Can mutual respect and understanding be discovered on the soccer pitch? More important, can it be translated to off-field life in the tinder box of the Middle East?
