The Dark Horse

Starring an extraordinary NZ cast; Cliff Curtis (Whale Rider, Once Were Warriors), James Rolleston (Boy) and Kirk Torrance (Outrageous Fortune) THE DARK HORSE is an inspiring true story based on the life of a charismatic, brilliant but little-known New Zealand Hero and Chess champion - Genesis Potini. The Dark Horse is a provocative, emotionally-charged drama about a man who searches for the courage to lead, despite his own adversities - finding purpose and hope in passing on his gift to the children in his community.
