The circumstances of those featured may have changed since filming.
Made with the support of NZ On Air.
A 12-episode Pasifika-community series on unexplored topics that impact our aiga as we champion our aspiring young people into careers within the billion-dollar sports industry in Aotearoa.
Outside the Lines looks at what goes on behind the scenes from some of our top Pasifika athletes and the people who surround them. From sportswomen who are mothers with full-time jobs, to young aspiring Pasifika athletes punching about their weight, and the behind-the-scenes realities of some of our most-celebrated sports heroes, we delve into the human facets of sport in Aotearoa where Pacific people over-represent.
The show aims to be a catalyst for wider community conversations in exploring the celebrations, the challenges, and the fascinating behind-the-scenes sports stories from our collective Pasifika experience.
From our parents to politicians, musicians, young students, and sideline punters, Outside the Lines speaks to our whole community about all the realities that sports serves up.
The series is brought to you by two Pacific female reporters—Ashley Stanley & Penina Momoiseā—who look at what goes into the making of some of our top sporting heroes.
