Araatika: Rise Up!
WEDNESDAY, 9.30PM, SBS & NITV
New Zealand sports teams, particularly the All Blacks, do the haka, but there hasn’t traditionally been any equivalent pre-game ceremony performed by Australian teams. This excellent documentary follows a handful of Indigenous NRL players as they set about remedying that. It also provides insight into the experience of First Nations players, both in the world of sport and Australian society in general.
