Made up mostly of amateurs; a farmer, a delivery driver, a civil servant, a teacher, and a postman; they went into battle against the greatest cricketing nations of the world, were questioned by police over the mysterious death of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, and then discovered peace had been brokered in their native Ireland. The doc follows the Irish underdogs as they created World Cup history with their shock victories over giants Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Directed by newcomer Paul Davey through Zanzibar Films and Let's Not Lose It Productions (Headrush, Aidan Walsh - Master of the Universe) the film received funding through the BCI Sound & Vision Fund and Setanta Sports.
