Review of Te Ata

Te Ata (2016)
9/10
Beautiful. Moving. A Triumph.
20 August 2022
A radiant story sharing culture and history, and the beautiful courage of a woman follow her spirit and tell the story she was born to tell.

It is compelling and moving, with so much joy to be had, even amidst the tragedy of the time. There is triumph and struggle, family and beauty, love and life, and nature and wonder.

There is a beautifully articulate quote in this movie that almost entirely encapsulate the spirit of the film. Referencing the importance of educating others, one of the leading characters continues, "It is imperative to open peoples minds to new things. Ignorance breeds fear and the only way to conquer that is to make the unknown known." Te Ata lived for so much more than herself and I am glad her story was told here.

Highly highly recommend. Family, friends, date night, solo movie. Would watch again in a heartbeat.
