This is inspirational.

Haiti is still recovering from the catastrophic earthquake of 2010. Many were killed and many more left maimed and homeless by the events of January 12, 2010.

The tragedy was compounded by the fact that Haiti is one of the poorest countries on the planet.

This video is a trailer for an upcoming documentary focused on the Haitian amputee football team as they prepare for the Amputee World Cup in Mexico at the end of November.

It’s called the Pursuit of Hope and it’s very humbling yet very uplifting:

The Amputee World Cup takes place in Culiacan, Mexico from November 30th to December 7th and features 24 international teams including one from Ireland.
