- A powerful story of female friendship, from director Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu, winner of the SXSW Special Jury Award for Filmmaking.
In 1954 New Zealand Nellie and Daisy attempt to escape an institution for delinquent girls, however not only are they caught, it triggers a relocation to a facility on a remote island. The duo become a trio as well-to-do Lou joins them, and life on the island takes shape under the command of devout Matron. The trio rail against the system, dubious of the benevolence of the bible and taking refuge in their blossoming friendship. It’s hard to reform girls who don’t believe they need reforming. However, a sense of doom settles in when experimental forms of punishment take place in the dead of night. Nellie and Daisy plot rebellion, but unexpectedly find themselves at odds with Lou, who is afraid to break the rules.
Starring Erana James, Rima Te Wiata, Nathalie Morris & Manaia Hall

MVP!
YAAAS
I have been looking for this for months!!!!!
In Denmark from 1923-1961 there was a home/clinic on an island for "morally defective" girls, that were infamous for how cruelly they treated the girls, which included forced sterilization.
there is actually a movie based on that, its called 'ustyrlig'. i heaven't seen it only the trailer
@@Sara-dw2qe Oh yeah, that's right.
There's also the crime thriller "Journal 64", that revolves around the same place.
Well, in China nowadays there are many reformation camps that are just as cruel for girls and even boys who "disobey" their parents, be "Internet or phone addict", have "low grades in school", many even starved or beaten to death.
It is also similar to the Magdalene laundries in Ireland. I don’t know if they also used forced sterilisation, though.
So like they're 100% being sterilized, right? That's what's happening in that shed. Just based on my knowledge of the treatment of Indigenous women and social undesirables throughout history
that or a clitorectomy. :(
The idea of social undesirable is weird. Everyone is society and some people don't present everyone's desire or opinion. Same this idea that some people are doomed by everyone is just ridiculous and a prejedice kind of thinking.
and male slaves in the Arab world
@@JPcommunicates Look on western europe it is hard to deny that some people just can not function in modern society.
@@JPcommunicates diversity being a strength is a myth pushed by people who lie about genetics and are incapable of comprehending statistics. The only way to have "one race the human race" is to totally ignore genetics and lie about crime statistics and history--which is what is happening.
Wow, that’s Rima te Wiata - I recognised her eyes and voice immediately, even though it’s been nearly 4 decades since her “Sons and Daughters” stint as Janice. So great to see her again!
A heck of a lot more hopeful than most films I’ve noticed in this niche genre! I look forward to it (whenever it gets available)
Because Mollywood isn't involved to ruin it
what niche genre is this?
@@bixiella7830 Sort of like, “Honest/realistic, sympathetic accounts of unfortunate/horrible events/situations that existed and persisted and are simply not talked about, or taught etc. Trauma begets drama, and forces people to do and be more than they would otherwise. Their stories and experiences are as valid, moving, heartbreaking, transcendent etc. as those of people who were not pushed into obscurity out of guilt and shame. “
That was a terrible description. I am sure someone else can come up with something more concise 🤷♀️
@@sarahprice659 ahahha thanks for the reply!
Rabbit Proof Fence is another good film with Native people. Well worth watching.
Indigenous
@@myrnashoults9735same thing,isn't it?
It really is excellent. And frighteningly, a true story. They interviewed one of the women who was a girl in the film. She was so matter of fact talking about it. Wild.
not native, early settlers/ early colonisers
@ImFieldy yes, I am Maori myself and we did Colonise New Zealand
100% may the wind carry their stories in all 7 directions
it'll end in tears.
It better not!
I'm definitely going to look for this and I hope it will be online somewhere soon. 💙
It will be released in NZ cinemas on 22 August.
What are the songs,? Including the song which group was singing
I need to know too!
@@hannahnorthfield4195 It reminded me of a traditional Haka. It's excellent, wish I knew exactly what it was. Maybe available on the soundtrack?
I was also thinking it sounded like a Haka, but the Maori are not the only culture that has stirring chants like this.
Hopefully, the movie will tell us.
@@donijeffery-harris3056 But isn't this on NEW ZEALAND?
@@outoftheforest7652 perhaps....I didn't see anything that specified the country, but I only watched the trailer once.
Ciao, i Hope this movie will be aired here in Germany too, i really love this movies, have Whale Rider here on Blu-ray.. many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃
Whale rider was also in the cinemas. A lot of independent and niche movies are actually also shown in the cinemas. The greetings of staying safe is aburd.
@@JPcommunicateswhat do you mean with aburd?
My wife is German, and we live in Flensburg. She was first introduced to Whale Rider when her Omi gave her a book for her birthday, and that was Whale Rider. That book and film is what brought her to New Zealand and that is how we met😊
Grüße aus Neuseeland. Die Familie meiner Großmutter kam vor über 140 Jahren aus Niedersachsen hierher. Kommen Sie einfach vorbei und besuchen Sie uns 😊
@@ratthawks Grüße aus Neuseeland. Nice story of how our Maori culture brought you two tegether.😊😊
Wow so many of these scenes look masterfully shot; I must check on this directors other work now. Super excited to see this.
Boy and Hunt For The Wilder People are classics by him
Very excited for this fabulous film!
I’m definitely going to watch this one!
For the love of God please tell us what the song is and where we can hear this version!
its sounds like perhaps they are singing in Maori and sang by a NZ girl's choir song commissioned for the film?
now that listen it could be Agnes Obel - Familiar
No I don’t think it’s Agnes Obel - interesting guest though! - I think it might be a Māori song, just hope they release it 😀
@@LuminousLucille i mean it could just be sample from her :-)
I'm obsessed with this trailer, does anyone have any idea of what is the song used in the background at the beginning and the end?
sounds like perhaps they are singing in Maori and sang by a NZ girl's choir song commissioned for the film? I can only make out a few words... BUT It may be Agnes Obel - Familiar?
@Clairecnz yes , it is definitely in Maori, Cam Ballentyne is the composer. Definitely in a maori culture group choir. By the way....who is Agnes?

@madmanfilms thank you so much. I wish it had gone longer
@@madmanfilms Thank you so much! Can't wait to see the movie!
This looks beautiful, awful in a good way, and hopeful. The world needs more rebels anyway!
Hope I can see this in the US.
Men and religion😢… thousands of years of female abuse😢
How so?
Exactly.
Its good then that some men fought to stop this abuse, reduce their rights to give women equal chances and invented modern technology.... you know - so you can sit on your couch in your peaceful country and whine about men all day long....
Also read about female rulers in history. They werent any better and some even worse. Its funny how they are now glorified in mass media and how people naively belive that the world would be a better place under women rule. 😂
Well that was the best fucking film I’ve ever watched in my life
Really? You seen blood in blood out? It’s free in UA-cam
That was a major tonal shift. Looks like a great movie.
The actress playing the woman in charge, is she of white european descent ? or is she a very lightskin polynesian ? because it can really change the reading of the movie.
Can anyone identify the song in the first half of the trailer?
Looking for it too, share when you happen to find it
Starting at 0:10 ~ ? Yeah I want to know what that is too . . .
That's what you're worried about????
Worried? No. Eager? Yes! Most of my music is gathered from movie and TV show soundtracks 😊 @@Jo-yp8wy
Can't find it anywhere. We will just have to wait
Will watch this.
The movie was shot on Banks Peninsula, but it looks like some location shots of the real Somes Island were used too. Somes Island has a history of quarantine and internment, but I don’t think it was for social undesirables.
This looks really good!
Anyone know when it will release in australia?
This looks incredible!!
this looks so good! I hope I can watch it in America! Does anyone know what the song at the end is? It doesn't play long enough for my iPhone to recognize it
Try looking up ‘Maori song from..’ and then the name of the movie.
Mīharo Manaia 🎉🎉🎉
Wow! Looking forward to this!
Soundtrack is out now
Omg I look forward to this. But something tells me I might cry…a lot.
Where can I watch this?
Bella from wilder people!
Loved this. .. It finished too soon.
Any chances it gets release to America???
women have been bound by misfortune for this issues but it also other women who encouraged them to more than their traditional role. This is because their significant role in society .
It is more that these specific girls were targeted for forcible sterilization. They weren't being trained to be great scientists or businesspeople, they were just being taken out of the gene tool because a bunch of people decided that they weren't wanted.
gorgeous, does anyone know the name of the song in the begnning?
Stunning and brave.
Māori language!
I loved JoJo Rabbit, so 🤞for this film.
Song name?
Hope it can also be shown in Manila, Philippines!
Looks good
Churches have a hell of a lot to answer for
An example of Patriarchal society at its most base.
🤔 I don't know
More mythological ferry tales from the Land of the Long White Shroud.
Preview of the "Seyless boot camps for girls"?
Every “modern society “ has a similar story of cruelty and gentrification in its past.
All societies/tribes/groups
This would just depress me
People are waffeling on about the music. Ffs. Take a look at history.
Spoiler in trailer: Water splashing at the end and the girl on the raft/boat holding on to the wooden stick (most likely a raft) as she escapes the island. The matriarch also displays a lot of Narcissism and some scapegoating. She tends to abuse the girls verbally while displacing her own shadow side on to the girls.
Looks crap
I need the name of this SONG immediately. @madmanfilms
What’s the song
Yes hmmm
I totally want to see this…. Nnnnnnoot! 👨🏻
The "troubled teen" industry was and is an endless source of nightmare fuel.
I'm glad we're de-stigmatizing juvenile delinquency and criminals enough so that we can finally open our eyes and start stopping these evils.
Except russians are doing similar thing to Ukrainian youth (on the occupied territories) and their own as well. ''re-educating'' those who are not convenient, brainwashing and molding tools of oppressive machine. They literally have re-educational programs, detention centers and camps for that... They take Ukr children from their families and send them to russia to rob us of our future generations. So no, your eyes are still closed.
As soon as the trailer started Kiwi/New Zealand made popped into my head
Looks excellent. Does anyone know the name of the band/song in the trailer?
ua-cam.com/video/w3Z_SE7_6Os/v-deo.html
@@madmanfilms When/where will the soundtrack release for purchase?
Oh I hope I can watch this in Canada! It looks really good!
Ditto
Edmonton has a fabulous Metro Cinema. Now I just have to figure out how to get them to bring it here.
@@donedwards5301 any update? ive been trying to find somewhere to watch it?
Same! Heck just let me buy it somewhere in Canada would be great
What’s that song at the end?
Inna lillahi wa inna illayhi rajioon
The oppression these people wrought on others has yet not been set right. And their moral and economic heirs don’t believe they owe anything to anyone.
LESHHHGGOGOOOOOOO MANAIA HALL 😍😍😍😍
Looks good! 😃 I loved 'Jojo Rabbit.'
Why am I crying?? It looks beautiful can't wait to see it
whats the name of the song at the start? Shazam getting no result
Looks awesome
yay, finally!!!!
I cannot wait to see this!!
Looks good
Reminds me of "The Chorus/Les Choristes"
when u love nz cinema buț live in the uk -_-
instead of cell phones girls just use to lez out.. i will now finsh watching this to see how right i am… ah well they kinda allude to it we’ll see im on to yall 👀
a story needing to be told..
"Send out--the Rover."
Exciting for these young women to get roles to show their talent! The ensemble cast looks wonderful and the visuals. But, In terms of plot and character development It looks like every other Disney movie for youth - repressive society is holding down rebellious and free individuals who must resort to extraordinary means to break down the power of “the man” And once liberation happens, there is Paradise for all except the repressive head mistress who must die Or be confined to an insane asylum.
How about a more three-dimensional character for the head mistress? How about the self-destruction that victims of early sexual abuse often find themselves engage in the age of these young women? How do they overcome trauma?
With endemic drug problems, mental health crises, and suicide, worldwide, including in New Zealand among the poor and ingineous, I don’t think this plot is really what young people need anymore.
If only the girls on the island discovered botany or Zoology or art skills or entrepreneurship to sell things to the mainland or tribal education from a secret text smuggled into the dorms! if they discovered ghosts and spirits on the island, it would be better than just another coming of age story of “liberation by rebellion”
You can’t really gauge the dimensionality of the headmistress fro a 30 second trailer. And, rebellion against repression doesn’t need to result in drug addiction and sexual trauma, though that’s probably something “the Man” would teach.
I like your ideas about tribal education and the supernatural, though.
Yeah but we all know how history actually turned out, or at least we all should
Same old formula- just another film endorsing the heroine of self and "freedom" and denigrating people of faith as villains- and make sure you get the cross in every character-condemning shot. Not enough courage to take on religions that use and mistreat women like property?
Yeah blaming child abusers for absuing children is anti Christian. 😂
@@jaronfoojishan2388 if it was true to life half 5he run time would be rapes
But this happened
So did plenty of other good things. Not every church is evil, not every pakeha is against Māori. As normmaclean says, it’s another film endorsing anti colonisation. Bravo to Rima Te Wiata though. I met her when I did a performance with my high school in Wellington. One of the nicest and most gracious women I’ve ever met.
@@MsPeaches2youanti colonization is the most important point, and I do want to see this.
