Synopsis

Grieving the death of his father, 19-year-old Haami (Michael Koloi) starts hanging around with a local underground boxing promoter. In order to pay off Haami’s drug debt and keep him safe, his uncle Moko (ta moko artist Gordon Toi Hatfield), an ex-street fighter, must make one last sacrifice and step up to fight for his family. Written and directed by Joseph Robert Lee, this gritty short film also features a cameo acting performance by Scott Morrison, better known as the newsreader for TVNZ’s Te Karere.
