Uproar is a funny, poignant and emotional dramedy set in New Zealand in 1981, when the arrival of the South African rugby team sets off nationwide protests against apartheid and racism. Josh Waaka, a 17-year-old of mixed
race who has been a passive bystander all his life, is suddenly forced to stand up for himself, his whanau (family) and his future. Always feeling like an outsider in his family and his surroundings, Josh must find the courage to be truly unique in a time of political upheaval.
