The Best Rugby Films Ever Made
Over the years we've made a couple of great documentaries with the Australian Rugby team, the Wallabies. The Running Game and The African Campaign were produced before the game went professional and now we've made them available on DVD. Touring for 3 months, living on ten pounds a day, 30 blokes gave up their day jobs to represent their country. It was a time before players were brands and spoke in sound bites, these films represent the true spirit of the game.
The Running Game follows the Ella brothers, Mark Loane, John Hipwell, Michael O'Connor, Paul McClean and the legendary Stan Pilecki on a tour of the U.K. through the worst winter of the century.
The African Campaign features Nick Farr-Jones, David Campese, Tim Horan and Jason Little, and the young John Eales on the first sanctioned tour to South Africa.
These films are not highlights packages or greatest tries videos; they are stand alone documentary films. Meet the Wallabies and go on tour. These films are as close to being selected as you can get. Spectacular sports coverage mixed with the personal stories of these great teams.

Hurley on the Mawson Expedition
January 12, 2012 is the centenary of Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expedition reaching Antarctica. This expedition lead to Australia's claim over 42% of the frozen continent. One of our Heros, Frank Hurley, was the cinematographer on the expedition. He was gung ho in the most life threatening situations, he was an entrepreneur, and show biz through and through. He was also a scoundrel who sold several hundred percent of the copyright in his films to investors. Nothing was going to stop him and Australia is the richer for it. Check out some background on this extraordinary man.
