A Spanish missionary priest starts an unthinkable project in one of Manila's most impoverished districts. He seeks to build a team for a football tournament. He wants to show Tondo residents that people always can change for the better. He uses football to make his point. For more than two decades, several generation of young men rose from the garbage dump to seek glorious victory. Nobody knows what became of these fearsome opponents -- only their stories remain. They are remembered as the "legendary barefoot players" of Tondo.
