Te Rua

Two young Māori men, a lawyer and a poet, head to Berlin to recover some ancestral carvings, stolen 100 years ago and now housed in a museum, in this drama from director Barry Barclay (Ngāti).

"Variously praised as a major step forward in indigenous cinema, attacked for overambition, and little screened... This story of stolen Māori carvings in a Berlin museum sees Barclay plunging into issues of control of indigenous culture which he would return to in (his) book, Mana Tuturu..." (NZ on Screen).
