The Land Wars in Aotearoa are "over". A Taranaki hapū is planning a feast with Pākehā to mark the start of more peaceful times. But all is not what it seems. Ngā Kōtiro o Taranaki is a stunningly colourful, 2D animated film set in 1870's Taranaki, Aotearoa. It is told from the perspective of a fictionalised version of the day where three young girls survived the bloodless massacre of their hapū. Ngā Kōtiro o Taranaki begins with the three main characters, Waikirenga, Mihi, and Ngāru living in the smouldering aftermath of the land wars. It is based upon and inspired by pūrākau told by generations of the whānau of writer and lead animator Rautini. Pūrākau passed down to her from her Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother. The narrative arc of the series centres on a particular incident not found in the history books in schools but is held true within Rautini’s whānau, and certainly shared across whānau all over Aotearoa.
