WHALE RIDER
In a small New Zealand coastal village, the Maori face a great dilemma. In every generation, a male heir has always become the tribe's chief. So when her twin brother dies prematurely before he can inherit his post, Pai (Keisha Castle-Hughes) is left to fight the clan's aging patriarch and a thousand years of tradition to fulfill her destiny. Written and directed by Niki Caro, from the novel by Witi Ihimaera.

I love the tenderness between Pai and her grandfather, and Pai's patience and perseverance in the face of what appears to be rejection. Her faith is apparent in the way she sings the old songs and trusts the process to unfold perfectly while expressing her true belief that we are all leaders.
