How Do You Play Soccer if You Live on a Floating Village?

This 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.

This is a short clip of one of the floating villages off the Cambodian side of Tonle Sap Lake. The first floating building you see there on the left had a goal at the back and a group of kids goofing around with a football. Further down the estuary was a concrete barge with a full court basketball cage on it. Now that was sweet. I can't tell you how pissed I am that I didn't get a photo of it.

Btw, that link is to the travelblog-ish thing my girl and I put together over the last couple years. Hasn't been updated in a while. The big goofy white guy is me, and the beautiful babe is my lady.

I hesitate to call it viral. Granted, viral usually means the way it becomes famous, but it's not really trying to sell anything. They told a story. They paid for it, so I have no problem with them adding their logo to it.
