Director Mike Jonathan, along with some of the cast, will be joining us for Q&A.The film features some of Aotearoa’s most recognised faces in film and television including Cliff Curtis and Temuera Morrison.
An action-adventure, coming-of-age film, set in the Māori - Colonial wars of the 1860s. On-the-run, a half-caste, traumatised boy-soldier, Haki, 15, is captured by Māori resistance forces preparing a last desperate stand against the might of the British Imperial Army. Held as a sacrifice, Haki's life is forfeit until he befriends and is saved by Kōpū, a teenage girl who is a reluctant medium for a war god.
