00:00Every country has their favourites.
00:12For us in the Solomon Islands, that's our Kulkuru futsal team.
00:17Our young generation look up to these boys as their heroes.
00:23In the Solomons, it's a very challenging time.
00:27The sea level is rising faster than anywhere in the world.
00:31I see my islands are disappearing.
00:33When we play, we get to share our story with the world.
00:45We are an inferior country compared to the structure, the investment, the organisation.
00:52Guys, if this is our place, none of the sizes you ordered will be here.
00:56We dream to be professional players, but it's difficult.
01:00From where we came from, we have nothing at all.
01:03The Solomon Islands have yet to score a goal.
01:05If I didn't believe you guys could do it, I would not be here.
01:09With the climate change, they are in the front line.
01:11The sea level is going to destroy everything.
01:14For us Solomons, we are the ones that always fight.
01:18And we never give up.
01:20The consequences of a good game could lead to something much bigger back home.
01:26Having a voice for our country is very powerful.
01:31If I give you one minute on the court,
01:34play that minute for your family.
01:36Play it for your lives.
