The Convert
A lay preacher arrives at a British settlement in the 1830s. His violent past is soon drawn into question and his faith put to the test, as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody war between Māori tribes.
“The Convert manages to combine an entertaining portrayal of an often ignored historical era with universal questions about whether it’s ever possible to build a human society on the foundation of something other than violence.” ~Christian Zilko, IndieWire
“The film is frequently visually stunning.” ~Ankit Jhunjhunwala, The Playlist
