Julian Dennison Stars in 80s New Zealand True Story 'Uproar' Trailer

"It's hard if you can't do the thing that makes you you." Blue Fox Entertainment has revealed an official trailer for a film from New Zealand titled Uproar, based on a true story. Premiering at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival next month, playing in the Special Presentations section. "Julian Dennison delivers another charismatic performance in a witty and wise story about a young student trying to find his place among New Zealand’s fight for its national identity." In 1981 New Zealand, 17-year-old Josh Waaka navigates rugby-centric St Gilbert’s College. Amidst the South African Springboks' tour and national protests, he embraces acting and Māori heritage. Josh faces a choice: conform or stand up for family, future, and identity. Uproar is his heartwarming journey against a nation's struggle against racism. Dennison (the kid from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Deadpool 2, Godzilla vs. Kong) stars as Josh, joined by Minnie Driver, James Rolleston, Rhys Darby, Craig Hall, Mark Mitchinson, and Erana James. Keep an eye out for this film's world premiere at TIFF, along with an upcoming art house cinema release in the US sometime soon. Have a look. // Continue Reading ›
