Oct 14, 15: UPROAR
Follow your heart. Find your voice.
World Premiere was 8th September 2023 in the Special Presentation segment of Toronto International Film Festival.
There have been several strong reviews.
NZ Herald gave 4/5 Stars and said, “Leaning more on the drama part of its dramedy description, Uproar is a solid and enjoyable film that isn’t afraid to tackle big issues. It would have been easy to fumble these hot-button topics, especially as it picks up and runs with a number of them. Fortunately, it deftly sidesteps around the traps and skillfully gets the ball over the line.
It’s a uniquely Kiwi film that also speaks to wider global and societal issues in a distinctly personal way. Uproar is a movie that deserves to be shouted about.”

UPROAR is a moving and heartwarming story about connection and finding your place in the world. It is the story of 17-year-old Josh Waaka (played by Julian Dennison). Set in Dunedin in 1981, a rugby-obsessed country is divided over the arrival of the South African Springboks team, sparking nationwide protests. Under pressure from home and school to conform, Josh, who has never felt like he fits in anywhere, is inspired by the protests and by a newfound passion for performing to find his own voice. A sequence of events sees Josh embrace his community and his whakapapa Māori, taking him and his whānau on a journey towards healing.
