Chasing Great

“Chasing Great 2016” is a feature documentary which follows All Black Richie McCaw on his 2015 quest to become the first skipper to defend the Webb Ellis Cup. Directors Justin Pemberton (The Golden Hour) and Michelle Walshe were given unprecedented access to the subject to create a portrait of McCaw the person, and chronicle the psychology of achievement in international sport. McCaw saw the chance to “inspire some young kids” as the reason to take part, and end his policy of keeping “the private stuff private”.
