Out of the Game (2011) Online

Out of the Game is a documentary that offers an intimate portrait of the lives of 4 young people in Tower Hamlets. Against a backdrop of poverty, crime, and racial tensions, they have refused to conform to stereotypes, instead devoting their lives to teaching the next generation in a revolutionary sports scheme. Oli turned his back on his 'gang' to run the biggest club; Marlan supports his young family with income earned as a sports teacher; and Iffath has turned racial prejudice on it's head, by making others look beyond the hijab to the football player inside. Last November, schools secretary Michael Gove axed the grant, prompting a battle that has divided the cabinet and made front page news. This is the real story.
