Dunedin 1981. The Springboks are touring New Zealand, sparking nationwide protests. Josh Weeka, 17, is a square peg in the round, rugby-obsessed hole that is St. Gilbert's College. He discovers a passion for acting as well as a greater awareness of his Maori heritage, a combination that ultimatly sends him careening headlong into conflict with his oppressive environment when he is exposed for going on a protest march. Under pressure from home and school to conform, Josh's frustrations come to a head when he films a drama school audition tape that ends with a haka, speaking powerfully to the person Josh truly is. Josh's mother sees the video and they reconcile, and in the final school rugby match of the season, Josh stages a protest and is joined by his family. Through sharing his true voice, Josh has started his family on the journey towards healing.
