Global Goals | The Story of Mekfah : Video : Soccer Bible

The work of Global Goals, set out by the UN is to tackle poverty and inequality whilst taking on climate change. To mark the launch of the campaign, this short film has been made making dreams a reality for one boy from Bangkok's inner city slums.

This short film features Liverpool Football Club and focuses on Mekfah. It has been directed by Ananda Everingham - a well known Thai actor. Living in the inner-city slums of Bangkok, Mekfah is a grade A student with a passion for football who is given the unique opportunity and experience to travel to Kuala Lumpur and interact with Liverpool Football Club, in conjunction with one of the Global Goals founding partners and Liverpool FC main sponsor, Standard Chartered.

The film is part of the Global Goals campaign launched last week at the UN Headquarters in New York by filmmaker Richard Curtis and Amina Mohammed, the Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on Post-2015 Development Planning The campaign aims to reach 7 billion people in the 7 days after the Global Goals are officially adopted by all 193 nations at the UN General Assembly on 25th September.
