Description:The urban drift of the twentieth century has cut off great numbers of Maori from their old community links, symbolized by the traditional marae. This film looks at some attempts being made to adapt the traditional marae to the urban setting and interweaves two strands: a look at three urban marae projects and a trip out into the countryside with a group of young urban Maori to visit some rural marae.
