In this scrum, sisterhood is the strategy. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Lisa Burd (The Pinkies Are Back), NO TEARS ON THE FIELD is an inspiring story of family, community and sisterhood set against the backdrop of a season of grassroots club rugby in Taranaki. Filmed over two years, it follows two local teams and several individual players - including Sevens Superstar Michaela Brake, as they navigate ambition, community and personal challenges. Capturing the joy and camaraderie of the game, the film goes beyond the hits and triumphs on the field to reveal the emotional weight off the pitch—how their love of rugby intertwines with balancing work, whānau and the demands of rural life.
