The PNG Orchids are the first national women’s rugby team in Papua New Guinea, fighting on the field to gain national recognition while also fighting against institutionalized sexism and political opposition. This eye-opening and inspiring doc follows their journey to break into the world stage of rugby, resulting in both a story of female empowerment in the face of intense sexism and an anthem to the power of sports to improve conditions for women.
