"A young Australian man arrives in a small New Zealand seaside town which is the spiritual home of the local Ngati or tribe. He's to meet family friends who know more about him than he knows about himself. He'll also meet his daughter, and their relationship will at first be stormy. He'll meet a taciturn Maori whose 12-year-old son is mysteriously ill. And he'll learn about a public crisis which threatens the survival of the town. The young man watches the closeknit community come together to deal with these upheavals. Then everything suddenly becomes personal. He makes a discovery about himself which will change the rest of his life."

"Ngati, a Maori word meaning tribe, is set in the tiny Maori community of Kapua on the East Cape in 1948. There is a twin focus of the threatened displacement of drovers by truckies and the impending closure of the freezing works, the community's main employer. There is also concern about 12 year-old Ropata whose illness neither Maori nor European medicine can cure. A newly arrived young Australian is caught up in the town's crisis. The film de-emphasises the personal in favour of a sense of communal inter-connection and explores the possible relationships between Maori and and pakeha ways. Written and directed by Maoris, Ngati has claims to be New Zealand's first ìndigenous' feature."
