The Rebirth
of a Giant.

A documentary about what a place can become again. Shot in The Gambia.

Final cut expected · Jan 20, 2027
( the series )

ONE COURT is a documentary series about courts that hold more than a game.

Each chapter, one place. Each place, a community organised around a rectangle of concrete.

The Rebirth of a Giant is the third chapter, shot in The Gambia.

La cancha al atardecer

For ten days we travelled across The Gambia and built ties with different communities: some had meetings and routines already arranged; others came to us. All of that became 2.1 TB of footage.

Different stories, one ball.

( historias distintas, un mismo balón )

Stories and interviews that have nothing to do with each other, connected by sport: people’s ambition, their culture and their richness, as they are. This documentary sets out to give a voice to a point of view that is usually left unheard.
