STEELERS is co-presented with Wicked Queer.

In 1995, in a pub in London’s King’s Cross, a group of friends discussed the idea of a gay rugby club. From that casual conversation, the first gay rugby team was born - the Kings Cross Steelers. 25 years later, there are 60 clubs worldwide and once every two years they get together for the world tournament of gay rugby – The Bingham Cup. Eammon Ashton-Atkinson’s heartfelt documentary travels to Amsterdam as the Kings Cross Steelers attempt victory at the 2018 event. Along the way, we get to know some of the team and the coach in an inspiring testament to the power of teamwork and friendship.


This screening is followed by a recorded Q&A with director Eammon Ashton-Atkinson moderated by Katie McInerney, assistant sports editor for The Boston Globe.
