The Ground We Won
The Ground We Won is a vérité documentary study of manhood as observed through the rites and rituals of a rural New Zealand rugby club. With great bawdiness and camaraderie, an eclectic rugby team of farmers strive to redeem themselves from a long run of bitter loses. In the face of the hefty demands of farming and fatherhood, the Saturday game becomes the focus of the mens passions and the ground on which their worth is proved. With incredibly privileged access inside this sacred mens zone, the film captures a fascinating season of traditions, debauchery and friendship, as the men reclaim their faith in themselves. "Unsentimental, funny, and so startlingly beautiful... a fresh kiwi classic. - Bill Gosden, New Zealand International Film Festival.
