Universally billed as one of the greatest New Zealand films ever made. Based on the true story on the birth of the Gisborne chess club Eastern Knights by its co-founder, a Maori chess master Genesis Potini. Unlike other uplifting chess club movies as "Brooklyn Castle 2012" and "Life of a King 2013," the director and writer did not spare viewers the harsh reality of struggles and violence faced by underprivileged Maori people of New Zealand
