Whina (2022). Whina: Directed by James Napier Robertson, Paula Whetu Jones. With Rena Owen, James Rolleston, Vinnie Bennett, Kali Kopae. A biopic of the trailblazing Maori leader, Dame Whina Cooper, whose extraordinary life saw her break gender boundaries, champion the rights of Maori, and fight for the land – all the while staying true to her heart and her beliefs.
“A very interesting story however, film was very mediocre. It felt like watching a performance rather than immersed in it. Whinau0026#39;s character was poorly presented. Little details on historical facts that are key to the story. Very disappointing!”
