Skin in the Game

Synopsis

Marlee Silva aka ‘Rocket’s Daughter’ – rugby league legend Rod ‘Rocket’ Silva – tells her untold and personal story of the NRL past and present.

In this intimate documentary, she reveals the truth about the nation’s most loved sport, through her own family story and intimate interviews with hard-to-reach rugby royalty. Marlee uncovers what the sport has done, and is doing, for First Nations peoples, and families – just like hers.

Across her journey, she interrogates the complex interplay of race, gender and class in the national sport – and what this says about us as a nation.
