Dawn Raid
Universal Pictures provided us with our first clip this week from the lively documentary "Dawn Raid," which tells the extraordinary untold story of acclaimed New Zealand music label Dawn Raid Entertainment and its two founders, Andy Murnane and Brotha D. Featuring Tanielu "Brotha D" Leaosavaii, Andy Murnane, Judd Apatow, Savage, Mareko, Adeaze, and Aaradhna. The doc also showcases exclusive archive footage of Akon, Wu-Tang Clan and other hip-hop legends. "Dawn Raid" is now available to rent or own on all major platforms.
Here is the official synopsis:
"From humble beginnings selling t-shirts on the streets of South Auckland, this unlikely duo formed a legendary partnership that would defy the odds and become music royalty both at home and across the world. The film explores the incredible challenges and struggles that were buried deep beneath the glamor of chart-topping hits with the hottest local and international talent – rifts between artists, unpaid tax debts, feelings of failure and betrayal – and the immeasurable musical legacy that was created in spite of this. Featuring some of New Zealand's and the US's biggest hip-hop and RnB artists, DAWN RAID is an inspirational, heart pounding celebration of local home-grown talent who not only gave a voice to their local community, but paved the way for a future generation of artists. Having received strong reviews following the New Zealand and Australia release earlier this year, DAWN RAID is an unmissable watch for hip hop fans and a gripping underdog story of how New Zealand's first hip hop label became a success against all odds."

They trap several unsuspecting victims for him within the vast crumbling mansion – but can they deliver all six before it's too late? Or will Amy, the young and innocent woman recently hired to look after the estate turn out to be more than a match for both the family and the Jack?"

Here is the official synopsis:
"'Evil at the Door' centers around a secret guild that has operated for nearly a century, known as The Locusts. Once a year this guild treats its members to a night of curated home invasions (aka, 'runs'), known underground as 'The Night of The Locusts.' With 180 minutes to do as they please with the occupants of the selected home, four masked men enter the home of Daniel and Jessica and begin to engage in sick, twisted games with them. Unbeknownst to the intruders, Liz, Jessica's younger sister, is hiding under the bed. While the run time winds down, Liz plots her escape as The Locusts realize there is a traitor in their group. But will the division amongst the intruders be enough distraction for Liz to survive before The Locusts' clock runs out?"
