'Falling For Sahara' is a film which describes the lives of three young African friends. They all fight for the love of one girl while one of them likes to play football. Football is such a big thing in their lives because it brings people together and that’s what makes it a significant factor in their lives.
The name of the girl that they all like is Sahara. Her culture doesn’t allow her to do what she wants. There are specific rules that she has to follow, one of them being going to her country and getting married to someone that her parents pick. She personally didn’t want to go through with this so she tried to convince people to change the culture. However trying to change a whole generation worth of culture would almost be impossible.
Racism was also an issue in this film. At the start of the film when Ramsy had his footy trials, he claimed that all the other boys wouldn’t pass him the ball. He accused the coach of being racist when he didn’t give him another shot. This is one example of racism in this film. Another example of racism in this film is when the police came up to MJ when he was sitting down and talking with Sahara. He had done nothing wrong and he was asked to show his ID and he was taken to the police station. These are two examples of racism in the film.
I personally enjoyed watching Falling For Sahara because it was such a well organised film and it made you anticipate what would happen next. I would rate this film an 8 out of 10 because I really liked the plot and how it was set out.
