South Sydney Story closely follows the intimate goings-on of South Sydney Football Club - a club that has come to personify the Australian battling spirit. Overcoming extinction, financially overwhelmed by the juggernaut super-clubs, and fighting for survival every time the players take the field. With 3 wooden spoons in the last 4 years - 2007 was shaping up as another bad year. But all that is about to change...The club, and its new co-owners, has invested $3.8M this season to bolster its ranks with a new coach and 5 star recruits. Russell Crowe and Peter Holmes a Court have staked their reputations and their money. Only the final siren will determine was this courage, vanity or misguided faith.
