The series shows my point of view on The Belgian Homeless Cup. It's a social-sportive football competition that engages the power of football for the reintegration process of homeless people. Homeless people as well as their social assistants are so often misunderstood. So many misconceptions are made about the reason why people are in these situations and why social assistants even bother to organise events like these. I've recognised the importancy of events like this by sensing true compagnionship, pride, friendship and just to belong somewhere. Feelings who are rare for homeless people.
