Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of Uproar showing March 29-April 3 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
In New Zealand, 1981, Josh Waaka is a 17-year-old square peg in the round, rugby-obsessed hole that is St Gilberts College. Meanwhile, the Springboks rugby team, representing Apartheid-era South Africa, are touring New Zealand, sparking nationwide protests and dividing the country.
Joshs newfound passion for acting, as well as a greater awareness of his Māori heritage, sends him tumbling headlong into conflict where he is forced to either conform or stand up for himself, his whānau (family) and his future.
