In Thailand's Phang Nga Bay, atop a network of stilts, floats the village of Koh Panyee—where a group of football-obsessed boys had no place to play. Where could they find space to dribble, juggle, shoot, and score? The boys looked out at the water and started gathering tools. Even while their neighbors laughed, the team sawed wood, hammered nails, and tied barrels together. They worked for weeks, until they had built a pitch on top of the water—a place to practice, and a place to transform their community...

With engaging action and atmospheric images of southern Thailand, Building a Dream is an inspiring true story about teamwork, problem solving, and the persistence it takes to turn a dream into reality.
