Power Meri tells the wonderful story of Papua New Guinea's first women's national Rugby League team. Director Joanna Lester joins us to talk about travelling and documentary making in PNG, her experiences in taking the film around the world, and the unfolding legacy of Power Meri across the Pacific.

To celebrate International Women's Day this week we talk to journalist and broadcaster Joanna Lester about her amazing film 'Power Meri', which charts the rise of women's rugby league in Papua New Guinea and follows the national team, the Orchids, to the 2017 Rugby League World Cup. It's an incredible story about rugby league in PNG communities and how it has helped in the fight against women's oppression.
