THE GROUND WE WON
ABOUT
A verite study of manhood as observed through the rites and rituals of a rural New Zealand rugby club. With great bawdiness and backbone, a team made up of farmers strive to redeem themselves from a long run of bitter loses. In the face of the hefty demands of farming and fatherhood, the Saturday game becomes the focus of the men’s passions and the ground on which their worth is proved.
Chris is the director, cinematographer and editor of the award-winning feature documentaries THE GROUND WE WON and HOW FAR IS HEAVEN. Both films have screened to considerable critical acclaim both in New Zealand and abroad, with THE GROUND WE WON being hailed “an instant national classic” and “one of the most powerfully cinematic New Zealand movies ever”.
