What if you could play for Australia?
Every Australian has held the dream.
The dream to pull on the green and gold and represent this proud sporting nation.
Even when knees have given out, waistlines have blown out
and all chances have run out, that passion lives on.

 

This is the unbelievable true story of a group of underdogs who took their balls into their own hands.

Armed with the greatest loophole in Australian sport, they selected themselves as Australia's first-ever international dodgeball team, The Emus, and took on the best players in the world.

These out-of-shape thirty-somethings carried the hopes and dreams of a nation all the way to the World Championships in Las Vegas. Along the way, they found themselves partying with rock stars, revelling in Hollywood mansions and embroiled in a media frenzy that for two weeks saw them as the most popular sporting team in the country.

A story for the ordinary dreamer who believes they can still achieve extraordinary things – if you have got the green-and-gold dream within you, come with them and they'll show you how to fly like an Emu.
