"Beautiful and uplifting...filled with charm and humanity."— Chad Armstrong, The Queer Review

Filmed in Cambodia over the course of 5 years, Lotus Sports Club is an inspiring coming-of-age story that centres around Leak, a teenage trans man who plays football in the under-21s women’s team of Kampong Chhnang, and Pa Vann, the coach and father figure to Leak and other LGBTQ+ players on the team.
