Steelers - The World's First Gay Rugby Club
Told through the eyes of an Australian news reporter, Eammon Ashton-Atkinson, who moved to the UK to escape depression, Steelers is a confrontational, emotional yet heartwarming story about the world's first gay rugby club, which started in London in 1995.
The documentary follows three people on their journey to overcome their struggles as the club competes against 60 other gay clubs in the Bingham Cup in Amsterdam - the World Cup of gay rugby.
Nic Evans, the Steelers' gay female coach and former international player for Wales, is fighting to overcome misogyny in a male-dominated sport. Birmingham rugby fanatic Simon Jones reveals his battle with depression after he recently came out and it didn't go to plan. The drag queen Andrew McDowell explores identity and self-expression through his story.
