About the Film:
Try! Is a documentary by director Oisín Mistéil that follows four Irish rugby players with disabilities who defy all expectations on their journey to the most inclusive and competitive World Cup you've never seen: the Mixed Ability Rugby World Cup in Pamplona.
This unique sport is 15-a-side, full-contact rugby played by people with and without disabilities, all with the shared dream of lifting the World Cup trophy.
Join Richie, Maeve, Tommy and Paul, from wet and windy training nights to the nail-biting culmination of their World Cup dream. Try! is a celebration of the power of sport in creating community for those who never belonged before.
