ZAATARI HOPE FIELD FOR WOMEN

STARRING LionEL MESSI

 
 

It all started when…

I was approached to share the story of a football field that was built for young girls in the Zaatari Refugee camp to nurture their love for football. As I began to research the initiative and learn more about the women in Zaatari, I was taken aback at how incredibly strong and tough the women are in mind, spirit, and body. In interviews all women said the same thing, "football reminded us of our strength and ability".

With that at the core, this short was born. With the help of Leo Messi, Lay's, UEFA Champions League, and AFDP we created an ad that we hoped would share more than just football, but take you on a journey on how the bustling camp of Zaatari buzzes every day while showing you how awesome these footballing girls are.
