"Have just watched this amazing movie and was stunned by the incredible acting from all involved and by an excellent script. As an old codger that was involved in the protest movement which was central to this movie I was touched and moved by the way it was interwoven into the story. Julian Dennison and James Rolleston deserve international recognition for their acting not only in this film but in their previous roles. They are truly gifted. The film is so poignant not only because of the issues it portrays but because they are still relevant today 42 years after the rugby tour of 1981. My film..."
