UPROAR

SPONSORED BY: Swift Action Fund

In this coming-of-age, UPROAR follows Josh (Julian Dennison), a rugby-obsessed teen in New Zealand learning to find his voice. Meanwhile, the Springboks rugby team, representing Apartheid-era South Africa, are touring New Zealand, sparking protests and dividing the country. Funny and heartwarming, the film explores how Josh’s newfound passion for acting, as well as a greater awareness of his Māori heritage, sends him into conflict where he is forced to either conform or stand up for himself and his future. Also stars Minnie Driver and Rhys Darby.

NOT AVAILABLE DURING THE VIRTUAL ENCORE FESTIVAL.

Plays with GHOST KITCHEN on May 4th screening.
