Starring Bill Nighy and Michael Ward, 'The Beautiful Game' is the moving and thought-provoking film inspired by the story of the real Homeless Football World Cup.

Directed by Thea Sharrock, Sara 'Cheeky' Neighbour was the UK based set-decorator. She wanted to do this film with the hope that it would raise awareness and highlight the issues surrounding homelessness.

Most of the locations were in and around London, including Canary Wharf being transformed into Tokyo and Watford becoming America!
