Program: Guy Pearce stars as a British preacher in Lee Tamahori's The Convert

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Guy Pearce stars as a British preacher caught up in 1830s Māori wars in The Convert, a sweeping historical drama. Pioneering, legendary New Zealand director Lee Tamahori (Once Were Warriors) joins us.

In 18th-century Denmark, an impoverished war hero played by Mads Mikkelsen sets out to tame a vast, uninhabitable land. Nikolaj Arcel, director of the very good The Promised Land, is our guest.
