Whale Rider (2002)


IMDb plot summary: A contemporary story of love, rejection and triumph as a young Maori girl fights to fulfill a destiny her grandfather refuses to recognize.
Directed by Niki Caro. Starring Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rawiri Paratene, Vicky Haughton, and Cliff Curtis.

This is such a lovely moving story, and Paikea is such a good character.

Whale Rider > Apollo 13 (wayyyy too high on my chart)

Final spot: #486 out of 2722.
