Lomu (TBC)
In cinemas for one night only!
When Jonah got the ball, fans everywhere would sit on the edge of their seats. Kids were hushed, phones were left ringing, sausages were burnt and beers spilled. The first tackler never stood a chance. The question was rather, how many more could he carry over the line with him?
A 6ft 5 inch Togan warrior who could run one
hundred meters in under eleven seconds, Jonah was an explosive, formidable
athlete who quickly became a sporting legend, holding the record for the most
tries scored in world cup history. But despite his gentle giant persona, his
life was marred by tragedy.
An intimate and heartfelt character study about the legendary All Black, tracing his Tongan upbringing, meteoric rise to fame, and the complicated personal and health battles he faced at the pinnacle of world rugby.
From acclaimed director Gavin
Fitzgerald (Conor McGregor: Notorious), witness an intimate portrait of a once
in a generation athlete, “The Big Fella”, Jonah Lomu.
All ticket revenue from this screening will go to Keswick Rugby Club funds.
