Stay in touch with your dad as much as you possibly can, and treasure that relationship because you will miss it tremendously when it is not there anymore. I really enjoyed the video. I was not sure what to make of it at first but as it unfolded it became much more emotionally connective and its really a story about you and your family. Pretty inspiring stuff
Wow this just blew me away fantastic bro,love from Christchurch nz yip we are one country, one team.and what does team mean? " together everyone achieves more " dam straight ! ALL BLACKS FOR LIFE !!!! CHEERS BRO KIA KAHA❤
That’s awesome! The film originally aired on Super Sports in South Africa and I think they were the highest TV ratings we got anywhere in the world. South African passion for rugby is the only thing that matches New Zealand. The Springbok/All Blacks connection is a very special one in the world of rugby. And I love SA - been there seven times and made my first film there.
Kia ora Julian, I was very touched by the vulnerability of your story. Even now as we are about to face perhaps the hardest 4 weeks of the All Blacks World cup history, its good to be reminded that despite the expectations, our faith in the black jersey trancends single moments. That we were also able to see the impact of the legacy on your family was a privilege. Nga mihi e hoa.
That last bit with you and your sister in tears as we won 2011, was a bit of a tear jerker. Nice documentary bro. Im living in Germany with my german wife and son. He knows where daddy is from and he will know daddys heart is with Aotearoa and the All Blacks. My wife encougrage's him also. Even though she is german and soccer. Cheers brother and Arohanui to your whanau from us here!.
Damn, didn't expect this to go the direction it eventually went. The openness of communication you two had - even after so much time and distance apart - was pretty incredible and something I could never imagine with my own dad (similar story, divorced early in childhood and moved away). Thanks for sharing
Julian, thank you for your beautiful documentary of your journey and how the All Blacks were intertwined in it. As an expat Kiwi living in the Middle East it really resonated. You captured New Zealand and its evolving relationship with the AB's in a deeply personal way that resonated with me.
That is wonderful to hear! My father moving to the Middle East during production of the film adds another layer of resonance to your experience. The kind words are so appreciated! 🙏🏼
Flipping heck! Am a passionate Bok supporter for life - really appreciated watching this! Could resonate deeply with how you feel! Had me choked up there. Great documentary 👍👍
Oh wow. Thanks Julian for reminding me where i come from. Im living in Germany now with my little german family. So thankyou once again for reminding me of Aotearoa, home.
Absolutely brilliant! 👏👏👏👏👏 I'm 70 years young and I'm "in it for life" as Julian said...the ABS are my heroes and that adoration is born out of respect 👍 Go the mighty All Blacks!! 🇳🇿
Awesome documentary Julian. The All Blacks have inspired me in many facets of my life, and it pleases me to see authentic fans as yourself. God bless you and your family.
also i can’t think about how hard it must’ve been for you all to be so vulnerable, especially when it’s going to be public so i truly thank all of you for that
Greetings from the USA. I've never lost my drive to see the New Zealand national team play. I'm proud to be a Kiwi, people over here barely know we exist, by many who even know rugby know of the All Blacks. I'm today's age i think we've lost our edge, but New Zealandersv should always be proud that we are here in such high esteem, and no matter what we are still held in high regard and seen as the team to beat. I've always followed my countries teams with pride and hope, no matter which code, v and my late father always kept me in touch with current events as much as possible. I hope in 2023 we prove the nay sayers wrong and win through, but when push comes to shove life will go on, and i hope I'm still proud of our people for trying to be the best against countries with bigger populations. As an added fact, my father once told me that the are more Americans playing rugby than the are New Zealanders. I think that says something about us. Not what i expected sir, but a very watchable video, may your life be successful.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful thoughts, I really relate. And so glad you enjoyed the film. It is tough as a Kiwi living in America because it is hard to find people to talk Rugby with in day to day life! Win or lose, it’s All Blacks forever 🖤
Malo uce! Finally got round to it Jay. Fams is everything! Enjoyed this piece very much and poignant, relevant and touching too. Well done. Oh to take out the Irish out once more this weekend and stick their shillelagh where the sun don't shine lol. Kia kaha bruddah. Best!
Thank you Thank You Thank you. Been searching for this documentary for years. Remember it played on Supersport back in 2011. Wanted my sister to which it because she was to Young back then. South African All Black support❤️❤️
That is amazing to hear! I am so happy I put this on RUclips before RWC 2023. South Africans watching Cup of Dreams on SuperSport was actually the largest and most passionate audience the film received internationally ❤️🇿🇦 I love SA! Hope your sister enjoys the film 😊
@@JulianShawofficial When something affects me deeply all I can say is Thank You. I thought I was just watching a doco type behind the scenes expose about our beloved All Blacks. But what you gave was so much more meaningful and powerful it was the best summary and explanation of the meaning of the All Blacks I have ever heard or seen. So all I can say is.... Thank You Bro 🙏
The international rugby world owes the All Blacks so much. To the global growth of for me the greatest game is amazing. Watching Japan beat teams like Ireland, Scotland and Wales knowing that Kiwi players and coaches advanced their game is something to be proud of.
After the 2007 loss I went to a local high school derby here in Christchurch and realized the future of our game was secure and the young talent and passion would ensure the All Black's would dominate again.
What a documentary! Im so glad it came up on my feed! I know its about your connection to the ABs but also shows how unhealthy our obsession with the ABs is. We sadly crucify our coaches and players forgetting they are human too. Great documentary!
Really love your documentary Jullian All Blacks will always be my team now I live in Melbourne with my little Family and I tell my 5 year old son that he’s an All Black supporter like me.All Blacks keeps reminding me how much I love being a proud Kiwi where ever I am in the world.#ABE
I so feel you! I have lived in America 8 years now. I’ve never missed an All Blacks game and every time I hear the anthem and watch the Haka I feel like I’m home 🏡😊
Yes! Reaching the Final is already a spectacular accomplishment, especially considering how it felt after the Irish series in 2022! Win or lose, All Blacks forever 🖤
I must be a hearty All Blacks supporter because I cried at the end of this when they finally won again & now some Please Julian do more videos like this as you are very good at it. Love your content. Keep on bro We are in another final vs South Africa 2023 so let's hope the LEGACY CONTINUES #UPTHEBLACKS 🖤🖤🖤🤍
I love that you felt so much emotion at the end of the film. Awesome! It seems that my All Blacks-themed content is a niche that RUclips is willing to push. I’ll be doing more of it! Go the AB’s 🤍🇳🇿
@@JulianShawofficial that's awesome to know and I'll be looking forward to it. All Blacks by 12+ in the finals for me. I believe they will play an almost perfect game 👍🙏🖤🖤🖤🖤
Kia Ora Jullian this is how I wanted to be with my Dad, When he left my Mum I was so broken, Angry, just wanted my Dad home. But Rugby has brought out the best in myself on and off the field. Love being a Maori, Kiwi, New Zealander All Blacks best fan ever. Koro Williams
You captured 2007 really well. The changing psychie of NZ and their relationship to the All Blacks. Our culture and growth beyond that. This piece will stand the test of time!
@@cameron132 those words mean so much to me! THANK YOU. I am always aiming to make something that will endure beyond the first few months of release and it is cool to see this film is actually getting a better response 12 years later than when it first came out. Passing time helps give perspective. :)
Just discovered this video great stuff as somebody from the USA who grew up in Aus because parents moved for work.. We were huge supporters of AB I remember 07 and 2011 every well..✌🏽
What a beautiful story. I think you are on point with your theory of why we hold Rugby so dear. (How come you worked that out and I hadn't!!) 10/10 ⬛◼◾◾◼⬛ Go the AB's - backing Black 🏉🏴
Hey Julian GR8 Doco!I I still love the Allblacks regardless.You can still visit your Dad.I Don't talk to mine from a divorced family,he left when I was eight.I still see my Aunts and Uncles. Zoom calls are good to keep up to date.My life has not turned out how I would have liked but I am making the most of it!You are an intelligent dude, you will be Allgood!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us Julian 🙏 an your family 👪 . Kiwis are passionate when it comes to the All Blacks it's the legacy of jersey and what it represents to New Zealanders .
We all live in a special place. Aotearoa New Zealand is unique. For me, a 66 year old Kiwi, the greatest thing about home is that our beautiful, diverse landscapes have a more beautiful and diverse whanau.Cannot wait for our first African or Asian born All Black. We are nowhere near perfect, at least our failures are recognised and we know what to focus on.
Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, as a kiwi (Born in Christchurch), left NZ when I was 19, to work in south east Asia, 9where I missed the last apartheid springbok tour, seeing tall chainlink fences being torn apart by protestors while transiting Changi Airport, is the only lasting memory I have of that series. I then moved to Australia where I was told I couldn't support the Wallabies as they were beating the AB's on a regular basis at that stage; (the Farr Jones and Eels reign) I happily supported the AB's and the Wallabies, I've noticed the Kiwi attitude around the AB's has matured a little, but not a lot, recently I've had words online with Kiwis kicking the AB's for the losing to South Africa in England, After beating them in Sth Africa and NZ!!! The AB's had a few issues before the gameand several ref calls during the game which hadn't helped. But now that the AB's had two huge wins against lesser sides in the pool stage of the RWC, before beating Ireland (#1 in the world) everyone on the planet is saying the AB's went under the radar and are favorites to win the Webb Ellis trophy. WHich feels like a Manic-depressive personality that the AB's have to deal with. But hey, thats why theyre paid the big bucks.
You make some great points there! I definitely feel the Kiwi attitude has matured but we still have the passion. I hope we never lose that passion - I just think we need to channel it and always remember the humanity of the players/coaches. Glad you enjoyed the doco!
I really enjoyed that, love my rugby, being having a tuff time with the eldest, who gave up last season, he's a half decent back, but some how he's found his way home. it really is the best game ever invented. If you have crossed the white line, you know what it feels like.
In 2007 i was in waiouru doing training with the nz army, we were living in the snow for 2 weeks but we were told we could go to camp and watch the game and stay in the barrack rooms, have hot meals and showers for the night before going back to the training area for another week. we watched the game. kicked the s out of the tv and demanded they take us back to our holes lol. An extra week away from the world was good
I have to say that Ka Mate is probably the most misunderstood part of the AB brand. This is not the AB's fault, but it is a problem that needs to be addressed. Te Rauparaha performs Ka Mate for his enemy Te Wharerangi who saves his life. Te Rauparaha's performance was not a ferocious performance because of where he ascends from. He sat beneath the wife of Te Wharerangi whose name is Te Rangikoaea. This korero is carved into the poutokomanawa on Okahukura wharepuni at Otukou where Te Wharerangi sits atop the poutokomanawa. Te Wharerangi and many of his warriors are killed for saving Te Rauparaha. The people on Okahukura had no guns and bullets like their enemy. Furthermore, these are an ancient people through their Ruatipua line that descends to Okahukura where the maunga sit. The wharepuni Okahukura is named after the whenua that it occupies. So this is the korero about Ka Mate. Jesus said, Greater love has no man, than he lay down his life for his friend. Te Wharerangi lay down his life for his enemy. Is Ka Mate a coincidence? Thank for the cool video bro. Love and respect for the whanau.
So glad you enjoyed the film. And I agree that the haka is about coming together and even honoring the opposition. It is misunderstood as a purely aggressive act to psyche out the opposition when there is so much more to it than that, as you touched on 👏🏼
They should have won in 2007 had it not been for inept officiating. Cameras everywhere and they still missed that FORWARD PASS in the quarter final against France.
This has helped me understand why all blacks supporters are such bad losers they are trully passionate, im irish and we get knocked out of every world cup at the quarter final stage, even england do better than us😢 but we are now at a stage where a loss is trully hard to take. However our national sport is not rugby so we are still not as passionate
@suda2849 mori ori to name one. Also, the maori people home land is hawai'iki, and they literally traveled to New zealand in wakas. How can you be the indigenous people of a land when you don't originate from there?
@@SalemTotal The mori ori did not predate Māori people, debunked a long time ago. Māori identity and culture developed over hundreds of years in New Zealand- they weren’t Māori when they landed in NZ- maybe the genes aren’t indigenous, but by that logic nobody is indigenous to anywhere right? 🤷♂️ I dunno maybe I’m stupid

Who was or is the greatest All Black? Everyone that puts on the black jersey.
Good stuff on the All Blacks, needs some work on NZ's history though.
I got you....... homie :)
They should have won in 2007 had it not been for inept officiating. Cameras everywhere and they still missed that FORWARD PASS in the quarter final against France.
It’s true that was egregious and Barnes even apologized. Turns out 2007 was the catalyst for their back-to-back wins though.
@@JulianShawofficial Mind you they were lucky in 2011 France missed that penalty kick.
@@Mark-i1k2z honestly, I was at the game and when it ended there was of course euphoria but I would describe the prevailing emotion as relief
@@JulianShawofficial The French decided to turn up for that game.
Your father certainly is full of it. He's got a "ME ME" attitude.
Great doco though mate.
Piri best haka leader ever
This has helped me understand why all blacks supporters are such bad losers they are trully passionate, im irish and we get knocked out of every world cup at the quarter final stage, even england do better than us😢 but we are now at a stage where a loss is trully hard to take. However our national sport is not rugby so we are still not as passionate
We eat weetbix we breathe the haka, we bleed black.
Serious question: are we in a cult?
LMFAO!!!🤣😂🤣👏🏽 we are the best, even if we do loose games every now and then💯✌🏽
Mean watch...
When the All Blacks lose have another beer and blame the ref.
Its almost as bad as sparta throwing the unworthy babies into a death pit. Nothing has changed.
its only a sport
So they say.
Maori aren't indigenous to new zealand. They colonized new zealand before the English did.
From whom?
@suda2849 mori ori to name one.
Also, the maori people home land is hawai'iki, and they literally traveled to New zealand in wakas. How can you be the indigenous people of a land when you don't originate from there?
@@SalemTotal The mori ori did not predate Māori people, debunked a long time ago. Māori identity and culture developed over hundreds of years in New Zealand- they weren’t Māori when they landed in NZ- maybe the genes aren’t indigenous, but by that logic nobody is indigenous to anywhere right? 🤷♂️ I dunno maybe I’m stupid
@suda2849 no i agree. By that logic, really only aboriginals are indigenous in this part of the world.
Fuckin beautiful Doco Julian thank you 👏🏽✊🏽✌🏽🙏🏽
