Football dreams of Chelsea
Namak Khoshnaw grew up in Iraqi Kurdistan. As a child he saw war, and spent a period as a refugee, during which a donated blue football jersey set his life in a different direction. Nearly 20 years ago Namak left home dreaming of reaching London and playing for Chelsea Football Club. It was a hazardous journey, risking death at sea, and clinging to the undersides of lorries, but he made it. And although he never played for Chelsea, today Namak is an award winning film maker with 成人快手 Arabic.
