We Will Be the First

About This Movie

We Will Be the First takes you on a raw, unfiltered journey into the lives of young boys chasing the dream of professional sports. Over three years, we see them transform, some growing into young men, while others face the harsh reality of giving up their aspirations. The pacing feels organic, almost like you're living it with them. The documentary doesn't shy away from the struggles—heartbreak, setbacks, and fleeting triumphs—and that gives it a gritty authenticity. You really get a sense of their dedication, the camaraderie between them, and the stakes involved. And then there's that one kid who gets a ticket to Manchester United, which adds a bittersweet layer to the whole narrative. It’s a deeply human exploration of ambition and resilience.
