Zusatztext

In the remote outback settlement of Greenfield Plains, newly appointed schoolteacher Kevin Bell faces entrenched sexism and racism when he tries to register his pupils for a school cricket tournament. Determined to create a team, Kevin includes girls and local Aboriginal children, only to have his submission rejected by the education department's outdated policies.
 
 Undeterred, Kevin rallies the support of the entire district, sparking a movement that draws in the local Member of Parliament and garners attention from the national radio network. Together, the small community challenges systemic prejudice and wins the right for their team to compete.
 
 Though their performance on the cricket field falls short of victory, the diverse group of children from Greenfield Plains earns admiration for their sportsmanship, resilience, and courage, leaving an indelible mark far beyond the game itself.
