Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story (2023)

A deeply personal new documentary, Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story reveals a different side to the Springboks’ first black African captain, who led South Africa to victory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

An Orange Films and Star Films production for Supersport, Rise is directed by Tebogo “Tebza” Malope, who’s won Gold at Cannes Lions and the Grand Prix at the Loerie Awards, among other honours. The documentary boasts a soundtrack by Mandisi Dyantis and Haezer, who also edited the feature.

Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story is unfortunately no longer available on Showmax. Watch amazing rugby stories in documentaries such as Chasing the Sun, Chasing the Sun 2, and Two Sides, the story of the British & Irish Lions Tour to South Africa.
