Three Maori men, one in the 1950s when the Maoris were punished for speaking Maori and practice their traditions, and how this man was secretly teaching Te Moko to others.
The Second man is a young Maori activist in the 1980s and their protests. And third is the story of a young Maori man in his early 20s falling into Gangs of south Auckland. These three stories are being told in a parallel way to create the bigger image.
