EPISODE 1

Boys of Bukom

Bukom is a town too small for a map. But somehow, this tiny, slum village on the coast of Ghana has produced more world champion boxers per capita than anywhere else in the world.
EPISODE 2

The Eternal Derby

In Serbia, one thing has endured communism and civil war: The Eternal Derby. Each year, a soccer rivalry tears Belgrade apart, where gameplay is overshadowed by "Ultra" fan violence.
EPISODE 3

Bayou Classic

In college football, tradition is everything, and the battle between historically black colleges Southern and Grambling State is a ritual unlike any other. Especially at halftime.
EPISODE 4

Las Grandes Ligas

As Cuba and America embark on a seismic shift, Cuban ballplayers are caught in the middle: forced to wait on diplomacy or risk their lives for their chance at the Majors.
EPISODE 5

Luzira Upper Prison

Overcrowded and underfunded, Luzira is home to Uganda’s only maximum-security prison -- but also an elaborate soccer league; one that challenges the culture of imprisonment.
EPISODE 6
