The extraordinary story of three Rwandan kids who walk 3000 miles to the Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Using a sack load of ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized protagonists set off through the endless horizons of Africa in pursuit of an unlikely dream. And as they walk they gather a tribe - a ragamuffin team - of broken and brilliant characters who help them negotiate a way through a series of glorious, dangerous, hilarious and often ...

The extraordinary story of three Rwandan kids who walk 3000 miles to the Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Using a sack load of ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized protagonists set off through the endless horizons of Africa in pursuit of an unlikely dream. And as they walk they gather a tribe - a ragamuffin team - of broken and brilliant characters who help them negotiate a way through a series of glorious, dangerous, hilarious and often bizarre situations. Through these kids, we will encounter an Africa few people ever get to see; experience the hard reality of an epic walk through seven countries; as well as the joy, laughter and hope - 'the ubuntu' - that comes from making an incredible journey together.
Leave your thoughts about Africa United.
| Financial TimesAntonia QuirkeIt has the feel of something freshly improvised, filmed delightedly on the hoof. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerEngaging, smartly paced comedy adventure with strong performances and a decent script, but its tightrope-walking approach to a succession of issues doesn't quite work and the film ultimately topples into the sentimentality it's been trying to avoid. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertA cheery, rough-around-the-edges family film about three Rwandan children who travel overland from Rwanda to the 2010 World Cup in Johannesburg. |
| GuardianXan BrooksA bouncy crossbreed of Slumdog Millionaire, Enid Blyton and a Unicef commercial; a film that so dearly wants to be adored and adopted that it seems positively churlish to shoo it away. |
| Little White LiesTom SeymourIt may be formulaic and linear, it may flinch by too readily blending into fable, but it doesn't hide from the realities. It just refuses to bow to them. |
| Empire MagazineIan NathanA pleasing and pretty enough re-run, just that bit diminished. |
| Time OutDave CalhounThe makers do their best to paper over an undemanding script with bouncy music, quick cuts and musical montages, and you have to admire the young actors' spirited acting and the film's willingness to place HIV in the foreground. |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansEven if the narrative winds up at a predictable destination it's been a journey well worth making. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinAs part of a school project, I can see it being valuable. As a fun family trip to the cinema, not so much. |
| Total FilmNeil SmithDirector Debs Gardner-Paterson gets disarming performances from her young leads and the soundtrack is terrific. |
