    Great movie

    It's a well done New Zealand movie based on a true story. 10/10

    Religion doesn't have to be such an obvious factor

    Maori do take their various religions seriously. The most common practised is that of the Mormons. Possibly because they were one of the first evangelicals to arrive.

    I have pondered why so many Maori are attracted to Christianity The only explanation I can find is in the cannibalistic aspect of Maori culture. It seems that Christianity, through its cannibalistic rituals, (the blood and body of Christ) could be said to appeal to those of within the Maori culture.

    In 1994 I visited the site of the signing of the Waiting Treaty. Many clauses of this Treaty have yet to be carried out in full. Until they are, then the Maori will never be totally free from colonial rule.

    Difficult Watch.

    A rather harrowing story of a Maori who stood up to the endemic gang culture that prevails in New Zealand.

    Rather than brave, I found the central character to be naïve and deluded and also selfish by making a stand when he had a wife and three children plus one on the way.

    The case did lead to a change in NZ law with regards to witness protection, but that would be no consolation to his wife and family.

    Frequent F bombs throughout.
