Talent-spotted by scouts, these kids are told they could be “the next big thing.” But the reality is very different. Having spent their family’s life savings to join a much hyped academy, they soon discover the academies barely exist and that they have been exploited. Only a tiny percentage of the hopefuls are chosen just to be coached for the slim chance of a professional contract; the rest are abandoned. With no money to go home let alone the confidence to face their heartbroken families these “Lost Boys” find themselves stuck in the country to which they have been trafficked, with crime often their only means of survival.
