It is with great fanfare and excitement that From The Future introduces the cast & crew for Play!
About Play!
Kamilah is eleven and soccer is her only passion. She tries out for and makes the soccer team, and is having the time of her life until the pressures of the media, her strict Muslim father, Bahmood, and her feelings of alienation start to crowd in on her elation. She and her team are headed for the championship game when Kamilah gets called off the field for wearing a hijab! With everyone going on about who's right and who's wrong, the kids wonder if the grownups will ever understand that they just want to play soccer.
