From the violence and poverty of southern Auckland to his glorious encounter with Nelson Mandela, from his legendary tries to the pianful and lonesome daily dialyses, Jonah reveals himself without reserve. The breathtaking path of Jonah’s life through the testimonies of his relatives, friends and those of greatest rugby champions around the world. The powerful and universal story of a man behind the legend.
