Made of Steel

Wheelchair Rugby League describes itself as the most inclusive sport, with teams of disabled and non-disabled players competing against each other. The 2021 Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup, dominated by arch-rivals England and France, saw fierce clashes between players on and off the pitch. With privileged access to both teams, this film follows their journeys in the competition – a study of grit, sacrifice and determination, but above all about a fierce sporting rivalry between old foes who are both intent on coming out top.
