Synopsis

It's 1965 and for 23-year-old Richard Davis, life is all about music and his beautiful wife Judy. Richard spends his days writing music reviews for the newspaper and his nights managing a band called 'The Yellow Sprockets.' His big dream is to bring rock n’ roll to the New Zealand public and break the government’s monopoly on state-controlled broadcasting. Freedom of choice and freedom of speech drive Richard to devise a radical and cunning plan to anchor a boat off the coast of Auckland in a triangle of international waters. Based on an incredible true story, this David and Goliath epic struggle escalates into a titanic war between the government and a young generation.
