Chasing the Sun

Chasing the Sun is a standalone Miniseries designed as a completed, finite historical narrative. The production utilized unprecedented access to the South African national rugby team, capturing the intense preparation and cultural significance behind their 2019 championship campaign. Because the narrative is anchored to a specific historical sporting event, the series serves as a definitive record of that unique achievement rather than an ongoing episodic drama.

The scale of the production involved hundreds of hours of behind-the-scenes footage and intimate interviews with players and coaching staff to ensure a comprehensive retelling of the tournament. By focusing exclusively on the road to the final in Yokohama, the creators established a clear beginning, middle, and end. This structure ensures the work remains a self-contained documentary event that concludes with the lifting of the Webb Ellis Cup.
