In the Special Features interviews, one of the actors said he wished every girl on earth could see this film - and know it as their own story. He added that he wanted every boy to see it too. I share that wish. This is a soul nourishing story, done so well that it shines. The Whale Rider is about a Maori girl who by right of inheritance would be the next tribal leader - except that she's a girl. What makes the story so compelling is that it's love that holds it together.
Don't miss this one!
