🌊🐳On Wednesday, January 8 at 7:00 pm, see Whale Rider at The Westdale! This screening is part of our The Age of Innocence: Growing Up in the Movies film talk series, hosted by Jeffrey Bender! 🎬FILM SYNOPSIS:
A small Maori village faces a crisis when the heir to the leadership of the Ngati Konohi dies at birth and is survived only by his twin sister, Pai (Academy Award® nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes). Although disregarded by her grandfather and shunned by the people of her village, twelve-year-old Pai remains certain of her calling and trains herself in the ways and customs of her people. With remarkable grace and courage, Pai summons the strength to both challenge and embrace a thousand years of tradition in order to fulfill her destiny.
