The film was rewarded as the Best Feature Film on the Krasnogorski International Filmfestival in Moscow, Special Mention on the FID in Marseilles and the Audience Award on the International Sport Movies & TV Festival in Milan.

The final match against Greenland was broadcast live by the radio station Free Tibet.

The documentary film was shot at the preamble to the football international match of June 30, 2000, between Tibet and Greenland.

For the Tibetans in exile this was the first international match after many decades since the former national team had broken up.

The film starts from the moment of the first training sessions in Dharamshala in northern India and ends with the last whistle of the match in Copenhagen, Denmark.
