Goal! completes Kickstarter run
We hit our target, but we’re still fundraising because we had to use some of our own money to reach the 30K marker. After deducting Kickstarter commissions, we cleared only 21K. If you’d like to support this important film, please contact us. All contributions are tax-free
GOAL! is an inspiring documentary about how soccer helps the homeless regain control of their lives. It follows the five women who go on the U.S. team to the Homeless World Cup.
