“The Richmond Rovers and Grey Lynn park go hand in hand. It wouldn’t feel the same anywhere else.” The Richmond Rovers Rugby League Club is a Polynesian mecca, bringing back generations of Pacific players and their families to Grey Lynn park every week. Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribere

For 110 years the club has been based in the park. That central city legacy continues despite 95% of the members now living out of innercity Auckland. The club survives by its values of loyalty, family and service.

STILL HERE is a love letter to our innercity Auckland Pasifika community. Since the 1950s, the Pasifika community has cultivated a unique Central Auckland identity that many of the community’s youth proudly embrace; both as an act of resistance from ongoing gentrification and as an unapologetic reminder that they and their families are Still Here.
