About the film

1859, North Yorkshire. When young Māori woman Mary arrives from New Zealand, she’s trapped as governess to a wealthy whaler’s granddaughter. Living among her ancestors’ stolen artefacts, she uncovers Sir Cole’s horrific crimes. Embracing her Matakite powers, Mary becomes Mārama and must save Anne and avenge her family by destroying him.

Ariāna Osborne delivers a stunning performance in the lead role. She portrays Mary with a raw vulnerability that gives way to an ice-cold resolve, carrying the audience along in every step of her transformation. The moment she fully becomes Mārama is one that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Language: English and Te Reo Māori. This screening is with English subtitles.
