All Black captain Richie McCaw has lived his dream with characteristic precision and calculated determination. He's 34 and perhaps the best rugby player ever. But the dream is almost over. He is old by professional sport standards and everyone is asking when he's going to retire. Before his career ends Richie McCaw sets his sights on a risk-all attempt to win the Rugby World Cup back to back. No team has won it a second time in a row. No captain has won it twice. He will either end his career on an impossibly high note or take a nation's dreams down with him. Chasing Great follows Richie McCaw through his final season as he attempts to captain the All Blacks to the first ever-back-to back World Cup win. Until now Richie McCaw's achievements have been well documented, but little is known about the man himself. He has never courted the media and remains intensely private. Chasing Great takes the audience inside his world for the first time and what emerges is a very personal insight into high level international sport and a revealing psychological profile of the mind of a champion. Natural strength, hard work and sacrifice only get him so far. To become the best he has to master his mind. The mental toughness and self knowledge that McCaw has honed and worked to attain over the later years of his career has elevated him from a great player into perhaps the greatest ever. Through the 2015 rugby season and into the Rugby World Cup, held in the UK, the camera follows McCaw. This is finally his time to reflect on what he has achieved and attempt to explain his point of view on what it's been like to be the man whose skill on the rugby field elevated him to the status of an icon and who found his personal dreams had become a country's hopes. With unprecedented access to Richie, documentary filmmakers Michelle Walshe and Justin Pemberton followed Richie McCaw for the final season of his captaincy of the New Zealand All Blacks. A remarkable family video archive and candid interviews with those who know him best complete the story of how a shy farm boy went on to be a sporting legend and hero to a nation.
Leave your thoughts about Chasing Great.
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschRugby union fans will draw long and lasting satisfaction from this documentary tribute to All Blacks all-time great Richie McCaw. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergFor a movie that revolves around a notoriously violent sport, Michelle Walshe and Justin Pemberton's profile takes a soft, superficial approach. It makes a rote installment of ESPN's "30 for 30" look like Pulitzer-worthy muckraking. |
| Film ThreatPaul ParcellinIn all, Chasing Great remains engrossing throughout, offering a close-up look at a very rough and tumble sport. Watching the film, it's hard not to get swept up into the spirit of the fans and the players. |
| Flicks.co.nzSteve NewallCan't rise above feeling like a current affairs profile piece with great production values and access. |
| User Reviewnicole bAbsolutely loved this doco. Not just for rugby fans - it truly offers an insight into the mind of someone who is a pure genius in their field. This doco kept me on the edge of the seat at times, even though I did know the outcome of the games. The cinematography is gorgeous and the sound hits you in the stomach. |
| User ReviewJustine MI think America could learn a lot from this movie. About New Zealand, the Rugby culture, and one of the greatest athletes of all time. |
| User ReviewIlsa WInteresting documentary about one of the greatest rugby players of this generation. Remains humble as ever despite being one of the best All Blacks ever to have played the game. A genius of the pitch and a real gent off it. I still miss seeing this man in black! N.B. unless you know who Richie is and are a fan of rugby this probably won't be your cup of tea. |
| User ReviewStephen HStarted watching it on the plane but just lost interest |
