Inclusive rugby documentary “Try!” screens at Belltable on 16 November

“Try!”, an 88‑minute documentary about the world’s most inclusive rugby tournament, will be shown at the Belltable on Monday 16 November as part of the IFI@Belltable programme.

The Irish‑made film, directed by Oisín Mistéil, follows four players – Richie, Maeve, Tommy and Paul – as they train and compete in a 15‑a‑side, full‑contact rugby competition that welcomes both disabled and non‑disabled athletes.

Richie, who was told for years that his autism would prevent him from playing rugby, joins The Rebels and vows to repay the opportunity with “blood, sweat and tears”. The documentary captures the team’s wet, windy training sessions and the tense build‑up to their World Cup aspirations.

“Try!” is presented as a celebration of sport’s ability to build community for those who have previously felt excluded. The film carries a 12A rating.
