PLOT
An enthralling documentary delving into the life and career of Johan "Rassie" Erasmus, one of rugby's most iconic figures. Divided into chronological chapters — from a young boy dreaming of playing for Despatch, through his Springbok playing career, to his groundbreaking tenure as coach and Director of Rugby — the film traces a maverick whose unorthodox approach transformed player selection and tactics. Exploring Rassie's upbringing during apartheid, the seeds of his rugby obsession, and personal struggles along the way, it chronicles how he turned down Springbok captaincy, worked his way up through coaching ranks, and ultimately summoned all his knowledge to address self-belief, patriotism, transformation and meritocracy — delivering South Africa's third Rugby World Cup victory in 2019. Featuring footage, photos and interviews with coaches, journalists and media personalities, this compelling biopic offers a window into the proud South African's life story and hard-earned fairytale.
