Writer Rhidian Brook.
AFRICA UNITED tells the extraordinary story of three Rwandan children and their bid to take part in the opening ceremony of the 2010 Football World Cup in Johannesburg. Our pint-sized heroes set off in pursuit of their dream, picking up along the way a 'dream team' of displaced kids who help them negotiate a series of thrilling and hilarious adventures. During their 3000 mile journey, we encounter an Africa few people ever see; experience an epic adventure across seven countries; and feel the joy, laughter and hope that comes from making an incredible journey together.
