Uproar
Film (Trailer) – 2023
It's 1981. At a rugby-obsessed Dunedin Catholic school, sole Māori teenager Josh Waaka (Julian Dennison from Hunt for the Wilderpeople) is a frequent target for abuse. His daily drudge changes after joining a drama club run by a chipper arts teacher (Rhys Darby) and becoming active in a group of anti-Springbok Tour protestors. In this trailer, Josh's sense of self and whakapapa is awakened by Samantha (Erana James) and other protestors. Uproar's stellar cast draws on Kiwi talent like James Rolleston (Boy) as Josh's older brother Jamie — plus Oscar nominee Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting) as their mother.
