What an amazing movie

A real heart feeled movie and history, I did enjoy every single bit of it.

Especially what this leader and her people had to go through.

A real piece of history.

All the cast delivered an excellent performance, and the director made it very difficult to take your eyes off the screen, every scene express the pain and the courage that this lady had to go through.

Well done for it.

I definitely recommend it to all of you that are hungry for history and biography.

Also a compliment for the costumes and the pictures.

The music also very well done.

I never saw New Zealand from this angle.

I am thankful to all those who worked behind this project.
