From the New Zealand author of The Whale Rider, an intriguing novella about the nature of identity, together with its screenplay and many extras about movie making.
A medicine woman — a giver of life — is asked to hide a secret that may protect a position in society, but could have fatal consequences. She is the healer and midwife of her rural tribe, but new laws are in force prohibiting unlicensed healers. When she is approached by the servant of a wealthy woman, who seeks her assistance, three very different women become players in a head-on clash of beliefs, deception and ultimate salvation.
Newly rewritten, this novella, along with its screenplay and notes by the author Witi Ihimaera, the producer John Barnett and director Dana Rotberg, as well as film stills, offers a rich and intriguing package.
