Rise, Children of Rugby

A fascinating and touching dive into the daily lives of French rugby youth, a journey through the “Frances of rugby.” For three months, this film follows the paths of four young people from very different social backgrounds and regions: the Parisian suburbs, the Southwest, the Pacific Islands, and Brittany. The era when rugby was played only through family ties is over: this sport is diversifying and exploring new horizons. The faces of these adolescents bring a burgeoning diversity and sometimes even make our French teams shine.
