The Ground We Won

Described as "visually ravishing" (The Herald), "strikingly beautiful"(Metro) and "pure social-commentary gold"(The Listener), The Ground We Won is a documentary about men, rugby and the heartland. After discovering Reporoa while making their documentary How Far is Heaven, Christopher Pryor and Miriam Smith felt the Waikato town was the perfect place to chronicle the changing face of small town rugby. The film follows a rural rugby team striving to end their long losing streak, whilst juggling the pressure of farms and families. The Ground We Won was named Best Documentary at the 2017 NZ Film Awards.
