Through conversations with indigenous NRL players, including Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker, the film delves into the origins of the Koori Knockout, the Indigenous All Stars team and their dance rituals, as well as the prominence of indigenous pride within the NRL.

The importance of the Haka to New Zealand sport and culture was used as a foundation to develop a new dance ritual that would eventually be performed before a variety of different mens and women’s Rugby League matches.

While the Haka is predominantly a war dance, Widders consulted with indigenous elders and community leaders to create a dance that inspires unity and pride in aboriginal culture, while promoting the individuality that exists within different indigenous groups.

The teamwork and skills required in Rugby League are said to be similar to those needed for hunting in indigenous traditions, while the movements and collaboration evoke similarities to dance, another important part of Aboriginal culture.

The film culminates with a spine-tingling performance by over 100 indigenous men, women and children on the eve of Australia Day in 2021, featuring Adam Goodes and Stan Grant, among other prominent aboriginals.

With a World Cup scheduled for the end of this year, it would be a monumental occasion for the Kangaroos to debut the pre-game ritual and perform it as one united team.

Not only would it be significant in promoting Aboriginal culture on the world stage and uniting divided Australians, but it also fire up the team, instil fear in the opponents, and put lead in the pencils of Punters and Dribblers across the nation.
