Synopsis

From the creators of Japarrika and Japarrika Rises comes a new inspiring story of a young Tiwi woman’s journey to greatness. Kay-Bell can kick a goal, take a specky and tackle with the power of a buffalo. But she has to travel to Melbourne and play in the VFLW to make her AFLW dream come true. Can she overcome a horrible flatmate, a racist spectator and homesickness to get drafted? Being away from home has never been so hard!
