East Palo Alto in northern California is the city with the highest concentration of Pacific Islanders outside of Hawaii. Amidst the enormous wealth of Silicon Valley, the city also has a reputation as a pocket of crime and poverty. Lady Razorbacks follows a diverse group of Fijian, Tongan and Samoan women in East Palo Alto – each of them fighting their own personal battles at home – who’ve banded together and found powerful connections and redemption on the rugby field.
