7-year-old Josh (Julian Dennison) is forced off the fence he has actively sat on his entire life, to find his voice – and to stand up for himself, his whānau and his future.

UPROAR is a moving and heartwarming story about connection and finding your place in the
world. It is the story of 17-year-old Josh Waaka (played by Julian Dennison). Set in Dunedin in 1981, a rugby-obsessed country is divided over the arrival of the South African Springboks team, sparking nationwide protests. Under pressure from home and school to conform, Josh, who has never felt like he fits in anywhere, is inspired by the protests and by a newfound passion for performing to find his own voice. A sequence of events sees Josh embrace his community and his whakapapa Māori, taking him and his whānau on a
journey towards healing.
