Sierra Leone, Freetown.
August 2007.
The amputee soceer team during a training session at the beach.
Every Saturday the team goes to the beach to play.
Established in February 2001, the team is made up of 22 players, all residents of Murray Town Camp for Amputees in Freetown.
Most of the players were amputated by roaming rebels of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) that left unforgettable scars with machetes and handsaws. But these sportsmen kept their faith.
They are determined to overcome their trauma and handicap and refuse to be marginalised. Their powerful football skills transform them into true athletes.
