What if a former footballer could move governments, spark global movements, and rescue people the world forgot?
In this episode, Ben and Darren sit down with Craig Foster, who shares the inside story of two high-stakes rescue missions: a detained refugee footballer and Afghanistan’s women’s national team under Taliban threat. Drawing from the power of sport, Craig reveals how solidarity, storytelling, and social pressure became tools for real-world change.
From launching a global campaign to coordinating evacuations in 24 hours, Craig’s journey shows that technology, community, and moral clarity can combine to save lives—and change policy.
