| Description: | In the early nineteenth century the Maori chief Te Rauparaha held fearful sway over a great part of New Zealand. During his life, European influences eroded Maori traditions, and much blood was spilled before British colonial law forced Te Rauparaha's abdication. His death represents the end of old New Zealand; this film conveys the magic and the violence of that past era. |
