Join director Lisa Burd (Changing Gear, Monterey, Let's Talk About Sex) and special guests for a live Q&A immediately following the screening.
Set in the heartland of Aotearoa, NO TEARS ON THE FIELD follows a gripping season of women’s grassroots rugby in Taranaki — from determined club players to sporting superstars like Michaela Blyde. These young women are chasing international glory while breaking barriers both on and off the field.
More than just a rugby story, this uplifting documentary is about resilience, authenticity, and daring to dream big — even when curveballs threaten to take you out of the game. It’s a journey that will leave you gasping, belly laughing, and ultimately believing that anything is possible. You’ll be cheering from the sidelines.
Secure your favourite seats now for this special Q&A event.
Don’t miss this inspiring celebration of courage, community, and the power of women in sport.
