The film’s Director, Paul Pritchett-Brown, said: “It was a real pleasure to work with Hayley and her family to produce this film. The final product is a testament to their commitment to helping us tell this story. Hayley is one of the most impressive athletes the Caribbean has produced, and it was an honour to be able to make this film about her journey.”
Pete Russell, CEO of the CPL and Executive Producer of this film, said: “It is so important that we take the time to tell the stories of the wonderful cricketers that bring our tournaments to life, and this film is a beautiful example of what can be done when given this level of access. I would like to thank Hayley and her family for their commitment to the project and I am looking forward to the cricketing world enjoying this brilliantly put together film.”
Hayley Matthews said: “It was a fantastic experience to work with the CPL team to put together this documentary on my journey into cricket and myself and my family are really excited for the world to see it. My story has many more chapters left to be told but it is great to able to showcase how I got to where I am today.”
