Africa United (2010)

Sports drama, kids, and Third World poverty porn come together in Africa United, where a ragtag crew trek across Africa to attend the World Cup.

The director plays the world’s saddest song so skilfully on the world’s smallest violin so that your white man’s guilt may feel even more painful.
