DESCRIPTION:U.S. Theatrical Premiere Engagement \n\n\nDir. Adam Sobel. 2017
 \, 92 mins. Digital projection. As the 2018 World Cup begins in Russia\, c
 onstruction is well underway for the 2022 edition in Qatar\, where 1.6 mil
 lion migrant workers labor and live in the shadows of the same buildings t
 hey have been imported to make. By day these men sweat in perilous conditi
 ons to build the venues for World Cup\; by night they compete in a “worker
 s 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 th
 eir love for soccer and their desires to earn better lives. Each match off
 ers them a momentary escape from the homesickness and isolation they endur
 e as the lowest class in the world’s richest country. Adam Sobel's penetra
 ting and deeply humane documentary reveals an ad-hoc community of individu
 als pursuing universal dreams who are nevertheless systematically constrai
 ned\, and celebrates a sport that unites the world yet subjugates the very
  people who struggle to make its greatest event possible. \n\nOpening Nigh
 t Film of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. \n\n\nTickets: $15 ($7 Museum m
 embers / free for Silver Screen members and above). Order tickets&nbsp\;on
