Ka Whawhai Tonu
AroView: A deeply felt and impressively rendered action-drama centred on two rangitahi caught in a crucial conflict between Māori and colonial soldiers in 1864.
Beautifully scripted in Te Reo Māori, and brought to life by a universally excellent cast and sensuous cinematography that doesn’t simply focus on the authentic Waikato setting.
The title translates to “Struggle Without End”.
“Ka Whawhai Tonu is a mostly terrific piece of work. It is tender when it needs to be, raucously funny at times and pounds across the screen like a classic war movie in between.” ~Graeme Tuckett, Stuff
