Overview

We all know the Black Ferns, the current Women’s World Rugby champions, but where did it all start for these elite athletes? 

They started out playing grassroots rugby on a scrappy paddock somewhere.

Taranaki-based award-winning filmmaker Lisa Burd takes us back to the heart and start of women’s rugby with her new documentary No Tears on The Field.

It is more than rugby, it’s a film about resilience and authenticity at its best - young women daring to dream big but taken out by curveballs that leave you gasping, laughing, but ultimately leaving you feeling anything is possible. With a season of Taranaki grassroots rugby as its backdrop, the film follows four young women and their quest for the championship trophy and personal success on and off the field.

It’s a raw and up-close look at women’s rugby and its competitive beginnings. Rugby is the vehicle to tell our characters’ stories and dreams. And they are as authentic as you can get and will resonate with young women everywhere. This is a universal and global story.
