The Untold Tales Of Tūteremoana
Acclaimed writer and director Hiona Henare reimagines three oral stories passed down her family line in this new Māori fantasy anthology THE UNTOLD TALES OF TŪTEREMOANA. In a battle against time, three unlikely youths are forced into heroism when their ancestors call on them to lead and protect their people and customary traditions. With an all-Māori cast that includes New Zealand's rising stars Mairehau Grace-Smith, Isis Bradley-Kiwi and Paku Fernandez; alongside veteran actors of stage and screen Lawrence Makoare, Mere Boynton, Tanea Heke and Helen Otene-Pearse.
