Red, White, Black and Blue

I watched this film on an Emirates flights between Dubai and Sydney.  It is a documentary, following a rugby team as they tour New Zealand.  The group comprises a boys team and a girls team, and they are from central Los Angeles.  Stuart Krohn, a teacher and former rugby player himself, leads the group, and is an engagingly gruff character.

The members of the squad are amazingly disciplined and focused on their rugby and their studies, with the aim of getting into the most prestigious colleges in the USA.  You get some glimpses of their family situations, which add colour to the film.

Overall, an endearing and thought provoking documentary
