The Dark Horse is based on the true story of Genesis Potini, a highly charismatic former chess champion goes in search of a life that reflects the truth of the game he adores.

The film is described as a provocative, emotionally-charged and inspiring drama about a man who searches for the courage to lead, despite his own adversities - finding purpose and hope in passing on his gift to the children in his community.

It is a film about two lost souls finding the strength to carry on through each other's company - believing in themselves; even if no one else does.

Starring Cliff Curtis (Whale Rider), James Rolleston (Boy) and Kirk Torrance (Outrageous Fortune), the film is directed by James Napier Robertson (I'm Not Harry Jenson).

The Dark Horse opens in New Zealand cinemas on July 31.
