A new documentary on the journey of the Papua New Guinea women's rugby league team to the 2017 World Cup is set to premiere this week at the PNG Human Rights Film Festival.
Joanna Lester says she hopes her film about the PNG Orchids will help change attitudes about women and inspire people as they watch the team take on the country's male dominated sport.
Jenny Meyer asked the film maker about her hopes for the documentary Power Meri and the origins of its name.
