Details
This inspirational film uncovers the astonishing story behind the founding of the first Women’s Rugby World Cup in Cardiff in 1991. A story of how four young rugby-playing women from Richmond had a vision for women to have their own World Cup and then brought together a team of campaigners, communities and clubs across south Wales to bring this dream to life. Told in their own words this was as much about defying the odds to pull off the impossible as it was a fight for equality as they took on the sporting establishment and engrained misogyny to transform the sport they loved.
