Mini Review - Whina

Whina (out Nov 3) is a New Zealand drama which spans several decades and recounts the life of Dame Whina Cooper who helped fight for the rights of Māori people and the ability to retain their lands. There's a lot to unpack in two hours but the filmmakers give it a good crack. Grade: B+.
