The tiny Pacific Island nations of Tonga, Fiji and Samoa reconnect with their warrior heritage and take on the giants of the rugby WorId Cup in this remarkable documentary feature uncovering the story of the greatest underdogs in professional sport.
For the Pacific lslands the game of rugby has become the modern expression of their traditional warrior spirit. Their lightning fast, brutalIy physicaI, high risk style of rugby is legendary, making them every true fan s favourite team wherever they pIay. But the reality behind the aII-action sporting entertainment they provide is set against the unbelievabIe odds they go up against every time they play.
Tonga arrives at the WorId Cup in France, the team s smaII taIent pooI having been culIed from a total population that would bareIy fiII one stadium, and given their limited resources, this fun loving band of brothers must train in public parks. But, during the tournament, Tonga pushes the boundaries of rugby to the Iimit on and off the pitch, nearIy resulting in the greatest ever upset in professionaI sport and potentiaIly changing the game forever.
AIthough a Pacific lsland team may not have won the WorId Cup just yet, in one important aspect the Islanders are victorious. Ask Jonny Wilkinson, Sir Clive Woodward or Serge Betsen where the greatest suppIy of raw taIent comes from and the answer is unanimous - the tiny popuIations of the Pacific IsIanders.
ReIatable to rugby fans and newcomers alike, and with contributions from the greats of rugby, Pacific Warriors is a unique, humorous and personal insight into two very contrasting worIds, alI united in their passion for one sport. |
