Award- winning film screened at The Hamilton International School

Doha, Qatar; March, 2024:

As an international and IB school in Doha, The Hamilton International School is committed to providing the community with unique opportunities to learn.

The school teamed up with Street Child United, the official charity partner of iSP, to host a special screening of the award-winning documentary film, I Am Somebody.

Produced by two-time Academy Award winning Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, I Am Somebody, tells the story of six inspirational young people, Aya from Palestine; Drika and Jesmin from Brazil; Sahil from Pakistan; and Yasmin from Bangladesh, and their journey to the Street Child World Cup Qatar 2022. Featuring football icon David Beckham in a guest appearance, the film demonstrates the power of football to ignite hope and positively impact the lives of young people.

Our school Principal, Terry Senior, : “By screening this inspiring documentary film at our school, we reaffirm our core commitment to the community, through promoting the wellbeing of underprivileged children around the world. We have the power to change the narrative by offering these children equal opportunities to live a life of dignity.

At The Hamilton International School, we strongly believe that every child is born with a spark and deserves the right environment and opportunities to thrive and realise their potential. Through these interactive sessions, we are able to provide access to our students to watch and interact with inspiring role models who can teach them the values of resilience and perseverance.”

The screening of the documentary film took place at the iSP international school located in Doha and was attended by many local dignitaries, school officials, and members from SCU.

John Wroe, CEO and Founder of Street Child United, said: “We are so pleased to be back with our friends at Hamilton here in Qatar, reliving the magic of the Street Child World Cup when the whole school – pupils, staff, and parents alike – went above and beyond to welcome our teams and support them throughout the tournament. To be able to share with them the, ‘I am Somebody’ documentary is quite special, as they can see the full impact, they helped create in the lives of the young people they so kindly welcomed back in 2022.
