LOMU

Jonah-Lomu

 

There are very few sportsmen and women who transcend their chosen game. This is about a boy, rejected by his father, searching for the love he was denied as a child. The most feared and admired player of all time, rugby’s first global superstar, Jonah Lomu. The essence of this film is profoundly human, leaving a six-foot-five hole in all of our hearts.
