Listen now
Description
On this show we're talking to Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi about his new film Next Goal wins, which tells the story of the American Samoa football team and their quest to just score one goal following their historic 31-0 humbling by Australia in 2001.
Taika discusses the film as well as the difficulties of directing a football match, whether football takes itself too seriously and other sports stories he'd like to bring to the big screen.
