Join IPH at Sugaw Creek Rec Center for a free community screening of Men in the Arena (2017).
The unforgettable story of two Somali national soccer team friends chasing their dreams in the face of impossible odds. MEN IN THE ARENA is a survival story, a human rights story, and a rare sports journey principally shot and produced in Kenya, Somalia, and the United States.
MEN IN THE ARENA captures the Somali story through the eyes of footballing friends bound by a shared dream to inspire their countrymen. What happens to them is nothing short of miraculous.
Official Selection at the Heartland Film Festival and the St. Louis International Film Festival.
This program is sponsored by Culture Blocks— a community partnership between ASC, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation to bring arts and cultural experiences closer to where residents live. Culture Blocks is funded by Mecklenburg County.
