August 1, 15: Movie – NO TEARS ON THE FIELD
In New Zealand’s heartland, teams of aspiring female rugby players must shatter glass ceilings both on and off the field to achieve their improbable dream of international glory.
Jamie Walls, Radio NZ 3.5/5 Stars. – “Given how youthful the women’s game is, all the players we’re introduced to feel fresh and interesting. That’s is a unique selling point of women’s rugby, one that hopefully doesn’t get ground down by professionalism but will always be found at the grassroots level.”

It follows a season of women’s grassroots rugby in Taranaki from club players to sporting superheroes Michaela Blyde. You will be cheering from the sideline. Directed by Doc Edge alumna Burd (Changing Gear, Monterey, Let’s Talk About Sex), the film is more than rugby, it is about resilience and authenticity at its best; young women daring to dream big but taken out by curveballs that leave you gasping, belly laughing, and ultimately feeling like anything is possible.
