Plot

The mononymous soccer star Pele became a household name throughout the world, but he started off in a far more dire existence. As a resident of Sao Paulo's favelas, he was exposed to both terrible poverty and rampant crime and was provided with very few opportunities to make a better future for himself. But he'd prove his prodigious talents as a soccer player before he was even a teenager. This story chronicles his path to winning his first World Cup with the Brazilian soccer team, a feat that he managed to achieve when he was only 17 years old.
