Red, White and Brass tells the true story of a Tongan rugby superfan who, in order to get tickets to a sold-out 2011 Rugby World Cup match between Tonga and France, puts together a brass band to perform at the opening ceremony.
A full Embassy Theatre was decked out in red and white flags and there was an impromptu performance by members of the Taulanga Ū Brass Band, who feature in the film, for the premiere event on Tuesday. The movie was made entirely in Wellington, with an all Tongan cast.
