| #V140D [1995 - Temuera Morrison, Rena Owen - color - 102 minutes] A brutal, but brilliant and deeply affecting drama. In the slums of New Zealand, a Maori woman struggles to keep her family together while trapped in poverty and domestic violence. One son is joining a gang who tattoo their faces and one son is in juvenile detention. But at 14, daughter Grace retains her sweetness of spirit, writes Maori stories, and cares for her siblings. A horrible tragedy forces them to look into their proud past for strength to face the future. Outstanding acting; visually stunning!
