Mahana Movie Premiere

Check out the cast and crew from Lee Tamahori's latest film Mahana at the NZ Premiere in Auckland last night!

Mahana (previously The Patriarch) is an evocative family drama based on Whale Riderauthor Witi Ihimaera's novel, Bulibasha. Set in 1960’s rural New Zealand, two Māori sheep-shearing families, the Mahanas and the Poatas, battle for supremacy in the shearing sheds and in their own hearts. The youngest Mahana, 14-year-old Simeon, is troubled by the rivalry and begins to unravel the truth behind the longstanding feud.
