Waiora Te Ūkaipō - The Homeland

About the show

In 1965, a Māori family displaced from its tribal land gathers on a South Island beach to celebrate Rongo's birthday. Their hope that Hone will be promoted collapses when they learn his employer will offer only a bonus; the family tensions deepen as the ancestors' presence, a fire accident, Rongo's crisis and an impending volcanic eruption expose what the family has left behind.
