Panyee FC (short film)

If this isn't an inspirational footy story, I don't know what is... This short film is based on a true story; where in 1986, a football team from a tiny island in the south of Thailand, called Koh Panyee (a floating village, in the middle of the sea without an inch of soil), created a floating surface in order to play football. The passion and commitment that these kids displayed, earned them quite the folktale in Koh Panyee, inspiring much more football to be played, in future years. As of 2011, Panyee FC is now regarded as one of the most successful and influential youth soccer clubs in all of Southern Thailand.
