Soccer Brings Hope in Ultimate Underdog Story The Workers Cup

In the documentary world, we often get one
of two types of stories: the broad-stroked tale
of a massive issue, or an intimate slice of life
of ultra-specific characters. Occasionally, we
get a film that manages to merge the two,
which ends up telling a much richer story. We
have one of these cinematic hybrids with The
Workers Cup, opening at the Laemmle Monica
Film Center on June 8.
Doha, Qatar is scheduled to be the home
of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Since receiving
the controversial bid, there has been a general
awareness that the working conditions while
building this massive infrastructure borders
on modern slavery. The stadium workers are
immigrants, coming from poor countries in
all directions. Their rights as workers are
nonexistent, and notably missing two vital
freedoms: the freedom to quit and the freedom
to change jobs freely -- freedoms we don’t
even recognize as such in the U.S.
The Workers Cup profiles one of these workers
at the Gulf Contracting Company (GCC), a
group focusing on construction. In an effort

to boost morale amongst the abysmal working
conditions, the GCC and other Qatar construction
companies have formed a soccer (football) league
for friendly competition between employees.
The documentary follows the GCC team in their
hopes of achieving tournament success -- the
silver lining to their otherwise grim situation.
Among the teammates, we get a vibrant
and eclectic group of characters coming from
Kenya, Ghana, Nepal and India. Despite their
cultural differences, the team is united in its
pursuit of victory. In a working situation, where
emotion can only be expressed in a few ways,
bringing this victory to their team is one of
their only positive outlets.
When we watch professional athletes, there is
sometimes a neutralization of emotions -- as
every one of these figures is typically at the peak
of their game. But when we watch a team of
construction workers-turned-athletes competing
for a prize that truly has the potential to be lifealtering,
suddenly I began to feel the enthusiasm
and emotion that I would if I were to watch my
favorite team play. This is the brilliance of the
story portrayed. It introduces us to a team of
