Bossaball Colombia on CNN – Great Big Story

“Great Big Story” is CNN’s own viral video network. It aims to create video that is appealing to millennials,  shareable on social networks, and appropriate for native advertising. On August 12th 2016, Bossaball was featured on Great Big Story, being presented as “An Obscure Sport with a Samba Twist”. Besides generally featuring the sport, the documentary shows Bossaball’s impact on a community in Bogotá, Colombia. There, the new school sport is part of the government-funded program “Jornada Completa” for at-risk youth.

Great Big Story highlighted that “Bossaball definitely knows how to party, and although the sport is relatively new, it is taking off in countries like Brazil, Singapore, Spain and the Netherlands. In Colombia, it’s even helping kids stay off the streets and away from violence.”

Along these lines, Great Big Story integrated the short documentary in two compilations about the world’s most out-there and unbelievable sports:
