The Dark Horse

...heartfelt telling of a truly extraordinary true story.

Cliff Curtis plays a bipolar chess genius, inspired by a real-life character, who gives the local kids something to aim for after teaching them the tricks of the game.

What makes it unique is the Maori background, the atmosphere of poverty and violence in the community, a people marked by the genocide perpetrated upon them.

Cliff Curtis Excels as a Chess Master in ‘The Dark Horse’.

...gripping New Zealand drama.
