Uproar (2023)

New Zealand, English

A combination of comedy, drama and sports, Uproar is set in New Zealand in 1981, when the arrival of the South African rugby team sets off nationwide protests against apartheid and racism. Josh Waaka, a 17-year-old of mixed race who has been a passive bystander all his life, is suddenly forced to stand up for himself, his whānau, or family, and his future. Uproar skillfully combines themes of identity, family, and social justice in a heartwarming and inspirational story. Julian Dennison shines in a thoughtful portrayal of courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
