Steve Newall: Flicks.co.nz editor on Lee Tamahori's new film- The Convert - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

The award-winning director behind Once Were Warriors, Along Came a Spider and the James Bond vehicle Die Another Day has returned to his Kiwi roots in his newest film. 

After wowing audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, The Convert gives viewers a look into a long-running blood feud between Māori tribes in the 1830's.

Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says many familiar local Kiwi faces can be found starring in this film.
