About

Four talented Tiwi Island Indigenous girls dream of AFLW stardom, and with the support of
their community, face the social and physical obstacles standing in their way. This is an
inspirational story of human endurance, ancient resilience and the power of sport to act as a
force for change. Filmed over 6 years, the documentary explores the different worlds that the
girls must traverse from the remote Tiwi Islands to mainland Australia as they are selected by
the Essendon Football Club for their talent and unique style of play. Navigating the competitive
world of professional football while dealing with the weight of cultural expectations, distance
and financial barriers, the girls encounter triumphs and disappointments before defining
success on their own terms to become an inspiration for the next generation of their
community.
