This low budget Australian movie tells the story of the Japanese preparation for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and their victory over rugby powerhouse South Africa. Filmed entirely in Australia it is a beautiful example of telling a story with little money.
Basically, the acting is okay, the cinematography is minimal except where the cinematographer or director insisted that they needed a 360 shot to prove their skills, and the acting is good enough.
But what makes this stand out is that it is a great story. Using interviews with real people it comes across as a documentary where the reenactment scenes took over the film and it became a movie.
Well worth watching.

I like the bit where that bloke punched him in the scrum
Just amazing
It's not a faked story, it's something real. Something that is mission impossible but conquered, a story of Japan team in ruby World Cup 2015. The half documentation style along with acting doesn't tacky at all. It just makes the movie with the true feeling and words from the squad. It's an amazing production. Again, it's a vivid example of never give up from a real life event. Bravo !
