Ka Whawhai Tonu Trailer Is Out
Transmission Films drops the official trailer for Ka Whawhai Tonu, directed by Mike Jonathan.
Set in New Zealand in 1864, the film follows the story of a crucial conflict of the nation's first land warfare, fought between Maori and colonial soldiers.
The film stars Cliff Curtis, Temuera Morrison, Jason Flemyng, Miriama Smith, Matariki Whatarau, Jack Barry, and Hinerangi Harawira Nicholas.
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.
