Young football players from poor families across Africa and Latin America get promised trials, contracts, and a career in Europe, and some of them end up abandoned in foreign cities with no money, no papers, and no way home. Correspondent Mariana van Zeller investigates what has been called the sport's new slave trade, tracing the agents, scouts, and unlicensed coaches who recruit teenagers on the strength of a rumor about their talent and then vanish once the boy is overseas and useless to them. She interviews former players who describe being housed in crowded apartments, cut loose by fake academies, or pushed into situations closer to servitude than sport, alongside law enforcement officials trying to track networks that operate with almost no oversight. The film cites estimates of thousands of young players caught in this pipeline every year, a number that keeps growing as clubs outsource recruitment to middlemen nobody regulates. The camera follows the money and the paperwork as far as they go, and stops where the trail does, at agents who answer to no federation and no law.
