A new documentary series is out following Ōtara's Tangaroa College first fifteen rugby team.
It shows us what life is really like at a decile one school, the realities of school truancy, and how rugby and mentorship can help young men.
The series is directed by Anthony Costello and follows coach Saua Leaupeptele on the journey.
Saua talks to Jesse about their story and why it's being told.
