Red White & Brass

Inspired by a true story. Straight up, this actually happened.

Maka, a Tongan superfan, will do whatever it takes to get tickets to the Tonga v France Rugby World Cup game – even if that means promising to deliver a brass band for the pre-match entertainment. Only problem is, the band doesn’t exist and Maka has four weeks to make one.

From the producers of Hunt for the Wilderpeople and The Breaker Upperers.
