In the family: Son of Kiwi rugby league legend turns the lens on his dad

From Nights, 10:45 pm on 2 July 2024

Mark Graham is New Zealand rugby league royalty, but to Luke Graham, he's dad.

The imposing back rower was named New Zealand Rugby League Player of the Century in 2006, and is still the only player in both the New Zealand and Australian league halls of fame. 

A film and documentary maker, the younger Graham has now turned the camera on his father in the documentary 'Sharko', screening as part of the DocEdge film festival.

Luke and Mark are animatedly talking. They are in a warehouse with lots of equipment stacked in the background. Mark is seated while Luke bends down to show him something on an iPad.
