Watch it even if you don't like rugby

This doc exposes the inequalities and injustices built into international rugby (as well as corruption in Pacific Island rugby at a national level). You don't need to care about rugby to be interested in this story.

Thought provoking. £80 match fee for an international player is appaling.

Watched this documentary and the spriit of the Pacific Islanders shines through. The tier 1 nations should be ashamed and right this wrong now.

An eye opening must watch

What an amazing, eye opening watch into Pacific rugby. The documentary is a truthful story, that gives so many valuable and deserving people a voice that they haven't had in the same way before. Dan Leo gives light to such an important topic and Callum Drummond's cinematography brings the story to life in an amazing way.

A must see for anyone who likes equality and rugby.

Simply brilliant. A deep thought provoking informative piece that's exposes the self serving nature of tier one nations. It also shows the incompetence of World Rugby and their willingness to restrict the growth of the game for short term financial gain and not long term sustainability.

Superb documentary

Tier One administrators need to watch this doc and hang their head in shame at the appalling treatment of Tier 2 nations. Added to that the internal greed of the Pacific Islanders own administrators who appear to be prime ministers etc and you see the appalling treatment of players who are used and abused and ultimately thrown away once they retire. Sadly these players if they have any sense aspire to play for tier 1 nations rather than their own countries due to the money and being able to provide for their families.

Dan Leo does a great job in this doc highlighting the disparity that exists and I hope it will help their cause.
