Crossing the Line tells the story of Themba, a rural boy who rises to become a player in the South African national soccer team, in spite of AIDS. His story tells of resistance and courage, and of his love for his younger sister, Nomtha. “Themba demonstrates that one can be a great sportsperson even with HIV/AIDS. Because sport is first of all about fairness to each other, everywhere in the world.” Franz Beckenbauer, President of the Soccer World Cup Organising Committee in Germany, 2006 “Believe in yourself. If you remain positive, even when things are not going your way, keep believing that you are there for a reason, and that your time will come.” Lucas Radebe, long-time Captain of Bafana Bafana
