 This is the true story of a remarkable woman and the children she touched.  When Luma emigrated from Jordan, she wasn’t sure what life in the United States would hold for her.  Cut off from her family’s wealth, she needed to make it on her own.  One thing she was sure of was her love of soccer and of coaching.  Fate brought her to a small town in Georgia and to the parking lot of a run down apartment complex.  Here she met the boys that would change her life.  They were refugees from many nations bonded together by their love of soccer.  Luma threw herself into their lives as a soccer coach, friend and advocate.  Learn how this small refugee soccer team changed lives and a whole town.
