I'm a sucker for great television, cinema, theatre, and compelling storytelling, and "Chasing The Sun" ticks all those boxes and then some. This documentary has elevated my South African pride to new heights.

If you missed the 2020 installment, i'm campaigning that you hit a weekend marathon cause I promise you; it's impossible to stop once you start! Initially, I thought it might focus solely on Siya Kolisi, judging from the trailers but it's not.

 

I generally have random periods where I all watch is documentaries; where I just crave that real-life intensity amidst all the fiction.

So, It's not about Siya Kolisi, not just about the game, the players, or the coaching geniuses like Rassie and Nienaber—although they play a massive part.

 

"Chasing The Sun" delves into the intricate strategies, the heart and soul poured into every match, and the personal journeys of EVERY SINGLE PLAYER that shape these athletes into legends.

 

Beyond rugby, this documentary is a reflection of us all. It speaks to our resilience, our family ties, and our unwavering determination to succeed against all odds. It's a powerful reminder that with grit, preparation, and a whole lot of heart, victories both on and off the field are within our grasp.

"Chasing The Sun" isn't just about a sport; it's a celebration of human spirit, passion, South Africa and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
