The Americans Changing Rugby – The Pioneers | Part 1

The Pioneers is a two-part documentary that follows the USA Rugby Sevens team on their quest to make it to the big time.

America isn’t your traditional rugby powerhouse. In a country full of amazing athletes, rugby is overshadowed by the major American sports of football, basketball and baseball.

But there’s one team out to change that.

The USA Men’s Rugby Sevens team have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Despite their incredible talent, the team are relatively unknown in their own country. As they prepare to host the Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco, the stakes are huge. A win could catapult the team into mainstream sport conversation and set rugby up for years of success. Fail, and the chance could pass them by.

Part one tracks their journey from pre-season training, to traveling around the world on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, through failure and success, to the build-up to San Francisco.

The Pioneers was created by Zoomfiji and produced by Hill + Knowlton Strategies.
