A father and son documentary about NZ's greatest Rugby League player… ever.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest Rugby League players ever, kiwi hard-man Mark Graham was feared off and on the field, though few knew the real man or the destruction behind his success. This is an intimate look at the life of a father, a son and the cost of greatness.
Mark’s story is told through the in-depth lens and skewed perspective of Luke, his film-maker son, revealing a shared personal history scarred by pain and loss. As he learns more about his father’s past, both the hardships and the glory, he comes to a realisation about the man he idolised above all else.
** Q&A with director Luke Graham following screening on 27 June, 6:00 pm, at Lumiere **
