Lotus Sports Club

In Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia, Leak and Amas practise their passion for football in the town’s women’s team coached by Pa Vann. Coach and father figure, Pa Vann offers these transgender teenagers, often victims of discrimination and rejected by their families, the opportunity to express themselves in their bodies. Filmed over five years, “Lotus Sports Club,” by directors Tommaso Colognese and Vanna Hem, is a wonderful example of inclusiveness and solidarity, set against the backdrop of the country’s difficult economic and social situation.
