Past Run
Marama
1859, North Yorkshire. When young Māori woman, Mary, arrives from New Zealand, she’s trapped as governess to a wealthy whaler’s granddaughter. Living among her ancestors’ stolen artifacts, she uncovers Sir Cole’s horrific crimes. Embracing her Matakite powers, Mary becomes Mārama and must save Anne and avenge her family by destroying him.

“Anti-colonial horror at its finest, Mārama is moving, cathartic, and one of my favorite films to see come out of New Zealand.”
— Kate Sánchez. But Why Tho?
