Taika Waititi

Directing football and telling the story of the worst team in the world in his new film, Next Goal Wins

We're talking to Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi about his new film Next Goal Wins. The film tells the story of the American Samoa football team and their quest to score just one goal following their historic 31-0 humbling by Australia in 2001.

Taika discusses the film as well as the difficulties of directing a football match, whether football takes itself too seriously and other sports stories he'd like to bring to the big screen.
