Scouting for Zebras

Belgium | Director: Benoît Mariage | Running time: 80 mins

In this darkly comedic, but emotionally uplifting dramedy, Belgian star Benoit Poelvoorde plays Jose, a down-on-his-luck football agent who specializes in discovering promising young African players. When he discovers Yaya (Marc Zinga) in the Ivory Coast, Jose takes him to Belgium to make a champion out of him. He thinks he hit the jackpot, but nothing goes as planned.

Through humor and an unflinching eye for the dark side of the game, Scouting for Zebras will make you cringe, cry, and, when the few slivers of humanity slip through, smile.
