Chilling sketches emerge after 30 years of reflection between a kiwi rugby icon bully and the bullied. Manu experienced terror at the fists of Norm, ‘Making Good Men’ is about the lives they both went on to live. They often wondered, independently, what they would say if they ever met. The film documents this chance meeting and the wider impact it’s had on their families. Revelations occur through brutal honesty. The viewer also discovers how both men used their past and their hurt to rise to the top of their careers.
