MY SISTER, MY AGENT

OVERVIEW

At the age of 12, Amadou Onana moves from Dakar to Brussels, where his sister Mélissa, who is 11 years older, takes care of him. She notices his football talent, films his training sessions, and sends videos to clubs across Europe. When Hoffenheim invites him, his career begins. Seriously ill, Mélissa quit her job and became his agent—today she runs an agency with 25 players, mostly from Africa.

AWARD

On behalf of the filmmakers, the award at the gala ceremony was accepted by former NBA player, American basketball player Jon Koncak.
