LONDON, June 2010: Hungryman, Mother and Fishing Owl Films have created a stunning new film to rally support for Côte d’Ivoire’sWorld Cup team, known as Les Elephants.

The film brings to life the passion of Ivoirians for their national team, with footage of Les Elephants playing their last qualifying game at home before heading off for the tournament in South Africa – the first World Cup held on African soil.

Hungryman made the film while visiting the country to film a Comic Relief campaign, and have presented it as a gift to the FIFA Cote d’Ivoire Federation to help inspire them before the tournament. And so far the team have got off to a flying start, holding Portugal to a draw in their first match.

The film is being seeded virally as well as being hosted on the Hungryman TV website. It was made by writer/director Richard Bullock and shot in the Ivorian capital Abidjan around Les Elephants’ last World Cup qualifying game.

Matt Buels, managing partner at Hungryman, said: “We made this because we wanted to do something for the Cote d’Ivoire team and the FIFA Federation as a thank you for the access they gave us and to inspire the amazing athletes before the World Cup.”

Côte d’Ivoire meets North Korea on June 25.
