Based on a true story, Maka is a Tongan superfan and will do anything to get tickets to the Tonga vs France Rugby World Cup game – even if it means promising the organisers that he can deliver a brass band for the pre-match show.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Will make you laugh and inspire you at the same time. - Subculture Entertainment

"Annaud combines action sequences with actual footage of the event to eyebrow-scorching effect." - The Observer, UK.
