Power Meri Film Showing

We're excited to announce that Power Meri will be showing at The Garden Cinema, as part of a season of sports documentaries.

Power Meri follows Papua New Guinea's first national women's rugby league team, the PNG Orchids, on their journey to the 2017 World Cup in Australia. These trailblazers must beat not only the sporting competition, but also intense sexism, a lack of funding, and national prejudice to reach their biggest stage yet.
