Life, Animated is a 2016 American documentary by director Roger William, based on journalist Ron Suskind’s 2014 book Life, Animated: A Story of Sidekicks, Heroes, and Autism, which tells the story of his son, Owen Suskind who struggled with autism and learned how to communicate with the outside world through his love of Disney film.
In 2012 was released in theaters, “The sun inside” a movie by Paolo Bianchini from a few known, a good movie, one of those films that do not go to see because bombarded by advertising, but you go to see because someone told you about so well you can not do without it, one of those movies not fueled by large retailers, who lives in the mouth. Especially “the sun inside” is a must-see film for those who want a different kind of football history, a story of baby footballers too often forgotten. The film between the various issues addressed also speaks of trafficking of young African footballers.
The director Paolo Bianchini thus speaks in an interview (Azzolini for fantagazzetta.com): “for Eto’o, there are twenty thousand African children taken from villages and brought to Europe, the alleged international prosecutors charged a small fee for families, and bring with them the boys, thirteen, not more. If you auditioned these guys are bad, most of them do not know anything. They are simply abandoned, perhaps to a gas pump, as it happens to the protagonist of the film. ”
It ‘a plague which mainly France, but from which Italy is absolutely free, Bianchini says, “because it is true that the law is clear (before the age of an African boy can be transferred in a sports club of the European only accompanied by his family, at the expense of society, ed.), but FIFA can not monitor all the individual displacements, which are thousands. Also because often these auditions take place for smaller companies, or amateur. If they go bad, these so-called agents, which are actually smugglers of football, you do not create problems to leave these guys in the middle of a road. ”
The sun inside is a story about football, friendship and solidarity. The story of Thabo, an immigrant originally from a small African village and Rocco, fourteen of Bari. Their story intersects and is the setting for a true story, that of two Guinean boys, Yaguine and Fodè, they write a letter addressed to “large “in the European Parliament. The letter speaks of the troubled African continent, children’s rights are denied, the desire for redemption and civil progress expressed by the younger generation. It is 1999, the two go to the airport and are caught by hidden compartment in the undercarriage of a plane: destination, Brussels, with the intention to deliver their letter directly into the hands of the representatives of Europe. When the plane lands in Brussels, a technician discovers embraced the bodies frozen to death Yaguine and Fodè, next to the letter addressed “To their Excellencies.”
It is a film that anyone who is in football should watch, a movie that makes you think, that does enjoy another side of football and especially a film that should be seen by many “pseudo-attorneys” that more and more often and more quickly turn around to small players.
I saw the movie “One million arm” which tells about the story of a US visionary manager willing to discover talent for baseball in young people who practice other sports. He believes that India is the country still less exploited for this search and convinces a rich Chinese to fund this research. Who will throw a baseball ball 80 miles will attend a training camp and then the two best athletes will win a prize and will move for a year in the United States to train. At the end of the year the two Indian athletes fail to pass the audition organized with the best baseball scouts and the story seems failed. The manager, however, obtains financing for another year, after which instead the two boys convince the experts with their launches. Conclusion, they have been the first two Indians to play in the Major League.
This is a true story that tells how the search for talent is still anchored in too rigid scientific stereotypes that prevent that stories like this are much more frequent. The British have understood for a long time and over the last 8 years have enriched their national teams of about 100 athletes using a system like the one described in the movie.
In Italy, I’m trying to introduce this concept but sports organizations are rigid, the biomechanicals and coaches believe that we should always start from the children and basically everyone wants to protect is knowledge rather than to try new paths. Patience!
