A short film based on the 1888 New Zealand Natives rugby tour of Great Britain has won second prize at the Montreal First Peoples film festival in Canada.
Warbrick, by brothers Meihana and Pene Durie from Rangitane, tells the story of how captain Joe Warbrick inspires his exhausted teammates to take the field against England.
Meihana Durie says the film seemed to strike a chord with the jury, despite differences of language and sporting code.
He told Waatea News that resilience was a word they used to describe the experience.
