From acclaimed director Lee Tamahori ( “Once Were Warriors”) “The Convert” is a gripping historical drama set in 19th-century New Zealand. The film follows an English missionary (Guy Pearce) who arrives to spread his faith in the Māori lands, only to find himself torn between cultures and caught in the violent clash of beliefs. With stunning performances and breathtaking scenery, the film paints a vivid picture of colonialism, spirituality and survival. A riveting tale of identity and loyalty, it is a must-see for fans of historical epics.
