Duckrockers

8 x half hours available.

From the makers of the smash hit film Sione’s Wedding comes a coming-of-age story to rock out to! Duckrockers follows a group of young Pacific Islanders living in inner-city Auckland during the mid-1980’s. 

This comedy teen prequel to Sione’s Wedding sees the break-dancing boppers enjoy a last summer of fun before they become ‘real, actual men’ over eight half hour episodes. But growing up is hard to do and there are valuable lessons to learn, dance competitions to win and dreams to chase. After all… boys just want to have fun! 

So join the baddest bopping crew in Auckland for an irreverent yet respectful, funny and heart-warming dive back into our collective urban past. Two of New Zealand’s most experienced creators, James Griffin and Oscar Kightley, weave the stories of these Pasifika families and communities together with the beats and fashion of the eighties. Duckrockers 4 life!
