Kia ora and welcome to James Rolleston's interesting world

When James Rolleston agreed to this story he had a lot on his plate - publicity for his latest film Dark Horse, the national kapa haka competitions, a rugby game for his first 15, and the school ball.
So we counted ourselves lucky to spend time with this rising star and some of his favourite people.

James i saw the When Bob Came doco.and saw myself in episode one.down the Front in the middle of the Black Power gang but I am only 1/8th Maori and was not a member of the Gang in 1979 I wanted to See Bob Marley so I went from Rotorua and went to the front of the crowd of 22,000 through the metre wide gap and into the Black Power gang only I didn't know until after I saw the flag beside me at the front. A pakeha in the centre of the Black Power gang and totally accepted.
