Chronicling the director’s journey to decolonize the film and television screens of New Zealand and the world, the film documents her work, her early struggles with her family and her drive for social justice that often proved personally dangerous.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
