Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne

Guy Pearce leads this historical drama from director Lee Tamahori as lay preacher Thomas Munro in 1830s Aotearoa New Zealand. Arriving at a British settlement, his violent past is then drawn into question and his mission put to the test as he finds himself caught in the middle of a generational blood feud between Māori tribes.

Rena Owen (Once Were Warriors), Miriama McDowell (Coming Home in the Dark) and Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne (Cousins) play cherished Māori activist Dame Whina Cooper throughout the years in this biopic.

Tanea Heke (Waru), Rachel House (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) and Briar Grace-Smith (The Strength of Water) lead this time-transcending Māori drama based on Patricia Grace's novel about three cousins, separated by circumstance, and their long journey to find each other.

Eight Indigenous heroes from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific must overcome obstacles in their way so they can finally be masters of their own destiny in this multi-protagonist drama.
