PIPER DUCK - THE COMEBACK

At just 24, Piper Duck has already been named captain for her country and has carved out her place as one of Australia’s brightest rugby talents. But when a shoulder dislocation came just four games after returning from ankle surgery — and mere months out from a World Cup everything came to a halt.

Piper Duck: The Comeback is a raw and honest story exploring what happens when the game that defines you is suddenly out of reach. Through a cinematic blend of voice, movement, and stillness, Piper opens up about identity, pressure, and what it really means to fight your way back — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally.

More than a sports story, this is a reflection on who we are when the jersey comes off. A reminder that resilience isn’t about pushing through blindly it’s about choosing to show up, again and again, when no one’s watching.

Told through Piper’s own words, this film captures the heartbreak, uncertainty, and quiet strength of an athlete who refuses to be defined by injury — and who’s just getting started.
