Stan Walker to make movie debut with Temuera Morrison
Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:56a.m.
Australian Idol winner Stan Walker will make his acting debut playing the lead role in feature film Mt Zion alongside Kiwi acting legend Temuera Morrison.
Walker stars as Turei, a talented young musician with a dream - for his band to win an audition to be the support act for Bob Marley’s 1979 concert in Auckland.
Set amongst a Maori family of contract potato pickers in Pukekohe, Mt Zion is a family- oriented story in which Turei’s desperate ambition clashes with traditional whanau values, leading to an emotional showdown and powerful change.
Morrison plays Turei’s father, a hard-working head contractor who has some lost ambitions of his own. The film also stars Miriama Smith.
