7 dic 2016 · Mahana is the story of a powerful rivalry between two Maori families who make their living as shearers around Gisborne, on the east coast of the north island, in the early 1960s. In the history of Maori films, it is a landmark – it succeeds as an engrossing narrative on a grand scale about quotidian lives.
Two decades on from Once Were Warriors, Lee Tamahori returns to Aotearoa to direct Mahana – a family drama set in 1960s East Coast New Zealand and based on the book Bulibasha by Witi Ihimaera (Whale Rider, White Lies).
