In a time when our nation is in need for inspiration, what will it take to pull us together and give us hope? Eight year old Christian Larou (Played by Christian Koza) is about to face the biggest challenge of his life. The hopeful youth is a dreamer, ever since he was a young boy he has dreamed of becoming a great soccer player the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. Unlike other young boys, Christian believes in his heart and soul, that he can be the best soccer player in the USA and play for the National Youth team. But first, he must overcome the impossible.
The Golden Shoes soccer movie is inspired by kids who through their love for sports, find a way to deal with bullying and intolerance. Christian's character is bullied by both children and adults and his friendship with Julian the goalie (Played by Aedin Mincks of Disney's Ant Farm) helps Christian get through these trying times. Could Christian's journey to the top of the soccer world make him the new Cristiano Ronaldo? Will Christian end up finding his way and inspire an entire nation in a time of need?
The Golden Shoes soccer movie is the likes of Rudy meets Bend It Like Beckham. It is full of emotion and twists, and will get the audience all rooting for the child star who may just inspire us all. The Golden Shoes soccer movie will be released in 2013 and features an all-star cast including Eric Roberts, John Rhys-Davies, David DeLuise, Vivica A.
