♪♪ Malope: I think from the first day that I sat down with him and had a chat with him, I realized that he isn't a typical superstar.

He is in a typical athlete that's made it to the top and that's a God.

He's human.

Woman: As a Black captain for the first time led the Springboks, 28-year-old Siya Kolisi rose to the peak of a sport long associated with apartheid.

Man: The Springboks, under Siya Kolisi, made Black people feel at home.

Are you playing for the Springboks?

Yeah, I'm playing for the Springboks.

Malope: He was humble.

In fact, half the time he was surprised that he had made it that far.

And so I think that humanity of his shines through when you watch the film.

I think it's a massive lesson for all of us.

If somebody can make it to that peak of his career and still maintain his humanity and still maintain his grace and still maintain his sense of kindness, I think that's something to learn.

Rachel: Siya's story is not an individual story, that there is so much in his story that is still existing for many South Africans today, and this film is really just a raw, very real, honest truth-telling of his experience as a young person and what he had to go through, what he had to get through to get to the point where he is today.

And it also just makes all of his achievements that much more powerful and that much more impactful, because he's had to go through so much as an individual.

Siya: I used to go train in a thorny field.

We'd train in bare feet.

Day: You know, he was the perfect guy to film.

We were nervous about how in-depth he would go, and he really opened up.

And I think that was the main thing of the film, was just about giving an honest portrayal of who he is.

Yormark: This film is super special.

It's about overcoming challenges, it's about inspiration, it's about motivation, and most importantly, it's about changing lives.

Our whole theme the whole way through was to create hope for young people, for kids in similar positions to him that they can, you know, no matter what the adversity is, they can, with hard work and determination, get to a position that he got to, you know?

This film will change lives because of the message, and it'll inspire people to do whatever it takes to be successful in life.

He's stemmed off of this experience, he's opened himself up and been extremely vulnerable with us, and we've been able to do so much through our foundation, the Kolisi Foundation, and see so many other kids lives change through it.

People are going to see a story of resilience, are going to see a story of winning against all odds, but I think the one thing that's going to come through the most is how human he is, and I think that's a big lesson for all of us.
