The latest reo Māori project, The Convert, will launch on the big screen on March 19.
Te Kohe Tuhaka is one of the four producers of The Convert as well as one of its stars and says it was enjoyable to see the fruits of their labour hit the big screen.
The story sees Guy Pearce portray a lay preacher who arrives at a British settlement in 1830s New Zealand. His violent past is soon drawn into question and his faith put to the test as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody war between Māori tribes.
It was produced by Tuhaka, Andrew Mason, Troy Lum and Robin Scholes and directed by Lee Tamahori.
