Description

Wearing the colour red, living by the ‘law of lawlessness’ and having the patch with the emblem of the mighty bulldog on your back was once what ex-Mongrel Mob leader Tuhoe ‘Bruno’ Isaac referred to as being True Red. “Because all levels of society hated us we created a new society of hatred symbolised by the bulldog. Its ferocious habits were engraved on our hearts,” Tuhoe says, “If you were not a mobster you were not worth knowing.” He lived this way for 17 years.

However, continuously living for the bash, beer, prison and the potential for dying in a pool of blood sooner or later saw Tuhoe seek for in a different way of doing life. Leaving the Mob was once hard. Not only did he face the rejection of his own and the fierce judgemental prejudices of mainstream society, but with the awakening of his moral sense came the realisation of a past filled with inflicting pain on others but even so himself, and of a life devoid of any sense of love or hope. This led him down a path of confession, forgiveness and reconciliation.

True Red is the essential biography of one man’s fascinating journey from the realm of darkness into the world of light.
