Parihaka – The Art of Passive Resistance

Taranaki – 1860’s. Having waged war with the British army for decades two great warrior chiefs develop a battle technique unseen before. The movement they launch will secure not only their own immortality, but will become a model for freedom fighters well beyond these shores for decades to come – the art of passive resistance.

An animated feature in development with Simmonds Animation and the Iwi of Parihaka Marae. One of Aotearoa’s most dramatic stories, and one of its most important.
