Description
Susan Koch was already an Emmy and Peabody Award winning filmmaker when she stumbled upon a story about The Homeless World Cup. With a mind for socially relevant documentaries, Koch knew immediately the annual event was one she wanted to investigate. In documenting the event and the participants involved, Koch attempts to edify the audience about the political, social, and economic issues spurring homelessness around the world and in the process, help eliminate the stigma surrounding the homeless here in America. Zoom In’s Megan Cunningham talked to Kicking It director Susan Koch when the film played at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, months after its acclaimed debut at Sundance. Kicking It will be released theatrically on June 13th.
