Discover the vibrant world of NYC's Soccer Mecca in Flushing Meadows, Queens, a historic hub for amateur soccer. This documentary delves into the legacy of the park through the eyes of Dino Raul Dominguez del Salto, president of Liga Deportiva Estudiantil and an NYC Hall of Fame inductee. Arriving in America in 1968, Dino and a dedicated community of immigrant players fought to create a space for their passion, bringing their own goalposts and fixing fields, even staging protests at City Hall. Today, Flushing Meadows Corona Park serves as a second home for generations, fostering brotherhood and an unwavering love for the beautiful game, even as new challenges arise with shifting demographics and immigration pressures.
