Synopsis

Lew Pryme's life was a wild ride that took in everything from rock and roll to rugby before it was cut short by AIDS in 1990. This moving documentary follows Pryme's journey from the small Taranaki town of Waitara in the 60s to becoming one of the most popular hip-swinging music stars of the time. He later became the first executive director of Auckland Rugby Union.

I grew up in Waitara in the 50/60`s and remember Lew well working in Colin King`s music shop so sad to watch this.
