Over The Wall

In the year of the Arab Spring, a diverse British University football team, head to Egypt armed with a football and a desire to engage with local communities. Events ranging from the siege of the Israeli embassy in Cairo to bombings in Gaza make the boys realise the enormity of this tour. The worsening situation forces the team to rethink their agenda. Do they carry on with their journey and try to play in Palestine? The outcome of their decision provides a fascinating insight into the Middle East, football and activism through the lens of these London students.
