DESCRIPTION:Hosted by community partner&nbsp\;Emerald Isle Immigration Cent
 er (EIIC)\n\n\nDir. Adam Sobel. 2017\, 92 mins. Digital projection. As the
  2018 World Cup begins in Russia\, construction is well underway for the 2
 022 edition in Qatar\, where 1.6 million migrant workers labor and live in
  the shadows of the same buildings they have been imported to make. By day
  these men sweat in perilous conditions to build the venues for World Cup\
 ; by night they compete in a “workers welfare” soccer tournament\, playing
  in the same stadiums that will one day host the world’s greatest players.
  The Workers Cup follows one team of men from Nepal\, India\, Ghana\, and 
 Kenya whose only common ground is their love for soccer and their desires 
 to earn better lives. Each match offers them a momentary escape from the h
 omesickness and isolation they endure as the lowest class in the world’s r
 ichest country. Adam Sobel's penetrating and deeply humane documentary rev
 eals an ad-hoc community of individuals pursuing universal dreams who are 
 nevertheless systematically constrained\, and celebrates a sport that unit
 es the world yet subjugates the very people who struggle to make its great
 est event possible.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n	\n		Emerald Isle Immigration
  Center (EIIC)\, a Museum community partner\, will host a panel discussion
  after the screening with The Workers Cup director Adam Sobel in conversat
