Former All Black Norm Hewitt hopes tonight’s documentary Making Good Men will help lift some of the silence about domestic violence.
Mr Hewitt made the documentary after reconnecting with co-presenter Manu Bennett, who he bullied when they were schoolboys at Te Aute College.
It also gave him a chance to evaluate his work for Maori anti-violence group E Tu Whanau and to confront his father about the beatings he received as a child.
He says people need to talk honestly and openly about violence, redemption and breaking the generational cycle of violence within whanau.
"This is a conversation I believe would be welcome, would be the catalyst of a bigger conversation, and it shows humility and healing, forgiveness, breaking the silence, because it was the silence of growing up in a world of violence that I had more questions about that the violence itself, when society was silent," Mr Hewitt says
Making Good Men screens on Prime TV at 9.30pm.
