This short film is based on a true story. In 1986 a football team that lived on a little island in the south of Thailand called Koh Panyee. It’s a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil. The kids here loved to watch football but had nowhere to play or practice. But they didn’t let that stop them. They challenged the norm and have become a great inspiration for new generations on the island.

Beautiful story about real human struggles hijacked commerce (in this case a bank) doing some ideological work for their product.
I see your point Sean. Still, as far as bloodsucking businesses go, this one was more subtle than others in riding the coattails of the football-loving islanders.
