Now mid 1960’s it is while hustling for small change from strangers that they see a group of gang members and the fear that they evoke on the public.

The two young men decide this is where their paths lie – and the gang Savages is born and Danny becomes known as Damage, a lethal enforcer.

Savage is a raw, emotional and violent film adapted from stories of 30 years of gang life in New Zealand. Majority of the story plays out during the 1980s.

While the visceral violence is in your face, Savage is also a film about redemption.

Savage

There’s no sugar coating of anything and there are times where you feel resentment against Danny, and others where you pour out empathy.

A fictional film that portrays the hidden side of New Zealand and could easily be a work of fact.

Savage is an absolute kick in the emotions film you need to watch.
