this is a great movie, its based on a novel written by a Maori (native new zealander) Witi Ihimaera. Its basically showing the state that the maori had been reduced too in modern day life with gang violence, drugs, alcohol etc, he wanted to reverse this with his novels and this movie. However the amount of violence in this movie only ended up glamorising it and he had to do a second one. However this is still a classic movie

the movie was made in the 90's, many new zealanders can't even watch this because of how much its actually based on reality

if you're wondering why they're all wearing leather its because its supposed to imitate the Mongrel Mob and Black Power gangs, they're the two biggest gangs in nz and they're maori gangs that always wear those leather jackets like biker gangs

Amazing how the pattern is so consistent. Native peoples (of almost any kind) = poor urban criminals. African natives, American natives, South American natives, and here another example. God damn colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy! >(

We all know that each of our end is near; the question is do we accept the end of our living existence, or do we accept our existence as dead men...

yeah i know its messed up, in NZ its not even just them, a lot of Pacific Islanders who move here live in the same communities as these guys and in the same situations. I guess its because the europeans went all around the world with their superior guns took over everyone elses land and forced them to live by their ways and now we're stuck in poverty its fucked up. You can see why the Nation of Islam was started by a Maori pretending to be a muslim, he saw the black community was in the same situation.

Of course there are a lot of campaigns in NZ to stop this domestic violence and things are getting better here in NZ, the Maori have more of a say and now a voice in parliament. This guy Witi Ihimaera did other positive stories about Maori too.

btw this was shot in the same city i live, of course i don't live in a shit hole like that, that was mostly in South Auckland. Its weird i guess thats a consistant pattern too, Auckland is the biggest city, has both the richest and the poorest in nz just like LA has the richest and the poorest
