Try! follows four Irish mixed-ability rugby teams from cold winter training nights to the heat of summer competition in Pamplona, where 32 teams from 16 countries compete in a fiercely contested, full-contact World Cup. Played by people with and without physical and learning disabilities, mixed-ability rugby is tough, fast and uncompromising, with every player chasing the dream of lifting the trophy. Warm, funny and deeply honest, Try! is a powerful portrait of belonging, community and inclusion in action, as players find friendship, purpose and pride in a sport that refuses to leave anyone on the sidelines.
