Id never seen this movie and yet it was popular with the rest of my family (grown up kids). I find the plot very realistic about what is happening in New Zealand to Maori and the conflicts they face trying to hold onto their cultural ties to the land, their identity and living amidst the umbrella of colonization, westernization and the concepts of westernization being individualism and materialism Vs Tribal sovereignty. It shows the adaptability of Maori to their circumstances. That they can produce, act and put together this drama for others to realise their dilemma - show great creative flair and an ability to reach across cultures to ask for others to understand their plights and trials. Loved it, loved the acting and the deeper issues that face off between cultures of conflict expected to live harmoniously. It brings out the pathos of Maori and their warrior spirit to survive the political BS. I think this movie - should be resubmitted for another global distribution now that china, Russia are in the democratic race for global expansion. Will highlight the plight of what is to come for other indigenous peoples.
