# Africa's First National Men's Lacrosse Team Featured in Documentary 

Janson Media today announced the release of the one-hour documentary film *[Kandote](http://www.janson.com/rights/2014/10/23/kandote/)*(1 x 61') to worldwide television, digital, VOD, DVD and educational markets. *Kandote* chronicles the journey of Africa's first national men's lacrosse team, Team Uganda, as its players work towards achieving their goal of competing in the 2014 World Lacrosse Championships held in Denver, Colorado. The film focuses on five players with different 'pasts and presents,' as they experience the trials and tribulations of life, love, and lacrosse. During *Kandote*, viewers will step into the lives of a group of men who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS, lost homes to their government, and lost their adolescence to the violent life of an LRA child soldier, but who have all found solace, escape, and a family through the brotherhood of lacrosse.

*Kandote... One World. One Team. One Dream.*

The film was produced and directed by Will McCance. The film's official website is [here](http://www.kandotethemovie.com/).

A native of Texas, Will McCance attended Johns Hopkins University graduating with a dual-degree in English and Writing Seminars. In 2011, McCance was awarded the Elliott Coleman Award in Writing, Speech and Drama, resulting in his first documentary *BeMore,* the story of WSK, one of Baltimore's oldest and most notorious graffiti crews. While filming *Kandote* in Uganda, McCance, a former lacrosse player at Johns Hopkins, felt a personal call to action to help Team Uganda achieve their dream of competing in the 2014 FIL World Lacrosse Championships. Not long after arriving in Uganda, McCance joined [Fields of Growth International](http://fieldsofgrowthintl.org/).
