Summaries

A documentary film about a rugby club made up mainly of factory workers and unemployed men who defeat the largest rugby club in the world on South Africa's Heritage Day. Over the course of several months, we followed the players of Progress rugby club in the Eastern Cape town of Uitenhage, as they reflect on the game that caused a stir in South African sport. In many respects Progress was ahead of its time as it contributes to the transformation dialogue in South African sport, and particularly in rugby - which remains a controversial subject.—Simon Taylor
