W
A WORLD PREMIERE
Inside the locker room of an elite AFLW club, one season tests everything: leadership, resilience, and the price of staying in the game.
Set inside the high-pressure world of AFLW, ‘W’ tracks an elite women’s football team throughout their season as they push towards finals. At its centre is Rosie, the team’s star captain, navigating leadership, legacy, and the cost of staying at the top.
As the team trains, wins, and fractures, personal lives collide with professional expectations. Ambition, motherhood, and media scrutiny sit alongside the raw physicality of the game. Success on the field demands sacrifice off it - and every choice has a consequence.
Fast-paced, funny, and emotionally charged, ‘W’ is an intimate and gritty look at women’s sport at a turning point: where bodies are pushed, relationships are tested, and legacy is anything but guaranteed.
