Mahana (2016) watch online

Mahana (released outside New Zealand as The Patriarch) is a 2016 New Zealand period drama film directed by Lee Tamahori and written by John Collee, based on Witi Ihimaera's 2005 novel Bulibasha: King of the Gypsies. It stars Temuera Morrison, Nancy Brunning, Te Kohe Tuhaka, and Stephen Lovatt.

The film tells the story of two rival Māori families, the Mahanas and the Poatas, whose enmity purportedly dates back to Tamihana Mahana falling in love with Ramona and rescuing her from her betrothed, Rupeni Poata, who she does not marry. By the late 1950s, Tamihana is the patriarch of the Mahana clan, running a successful sheep shearing family business, while his grandson Simeon chafes under his authoritarian rule.
