overview
What is Dread about?
"I aroha to them. It was not their fault that they had strayed because of the conditioning. Colonisation.". An East Coast community in Ruatōria, New Zealand attempts to live in autarchy according to the tenets of their movement. Bob Marley, a prophet of our electronic age, is the soundtrack to the everyday lives of these Māori who feel closer to their own roots by observing a blend of Afro-Carribean Rastafarianism and the Ringatū faith. Merata Mita's camera respectfully portrays this singular cultural dialogue. The outsider cultures of Jamaicans, Ethiopians and Māori have come together, vibrating to a common cosmic chord. They find an underground brotherhood, across continents and seas. It blends documentary elements. The film reflects a distinct New Zealand style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Merata Mita. With a runtime of 44 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
