The event runs from September 20 and Endeavor Content has sold the six-part series to a slew of international networks including NHK in Japan, CBC Gem in Canada, Movistar+ in Spain, Viaplay in the Nordics, Fox in Australia, RTE in Ireland, Supersport in Africa and TVNZ in New Zealand.
Steven O’Meagher is showrunner on the sports doc series, which tackles colonialism, class war and sexism and focuses on the social, economic, historical and cultural impact of the sport of rugby.
“I wanted the series to be beautifully filmed, interview obvious, but also unlikely voices, and be as up-to-the-minute as possible so that everything feels fresh and authentic. This is not a series about rugby matches played and won, or the stars from different eras. Our series explores rugby’s surprisingly influential off field history,” said O’Meagher.
