Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Selema Masekela, VICE WORLD OF SPORTS is a half-hour series that chronicles unique stories from around the world that illustrate the relationship between sport and society, exploring broad cultures, politics, places and people through the one thing connects them all: sport. Masekela has traveled to places such as Ghana, Cuba, and Kenya, among many others, to tell unique stories. The series premiere, "Boys of Bukom," documents the story of Bukom, a tiny slum village on the coast of Ghana that has produced more world champion boxers per capita than anywhere else in the world.
