A book reading/signing/event for "Finding the Game: Three Years, Twenty-Five Countries, and the Search for Pickup Soccer" by Gwendolyn Oxenham, a graduate of the Certificate in Documentary Studies program at CDS and former Duke soccer star. In 2007 Oxenham and Luke Boughen began their travels to twenty-five countries to chase the soul of soccer by playing in pick-up games wherever they could find them. They were accompanied by a crew of two, fellow soccer lovers and Certificate in Documentary Studies grads Ryan White and Rebekah Fergusson. The four filmmakers' resulting documentary, the critically acclaimed "Pelada," screened at a number of festivals including the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and South by Southwest Film Festival.Oxenham's new memoir, "Finding the Game," tracks her eye-opening around-the-world journey.
