Once Were Warriors
The hard-hitting New Zealand classic about a violent and troubled family in South Auckland, based on Alan Duff's novel. Directed by Lee Tamahori and featuring a towering performance from Temuera Morrison as Jake the Muss.
Jake and Beth (Rena Owen) Heke have been married for 18 years and have five kids. While the love is there, Jake is a terrifying man who frequently fights at the pub and in the home. The film follows several weeks in the family's life and shows Jake's violence and its destructive effect. His youngest son is in trouble with the police, his elder son is joining a gang, and his daughter Grace (Anita Kerr-Bell) has her own serious problems. In short, things get messy.
