Written and directed by Taika Waititi and based on the 1986 novel 'Wild Pork and Watercress' by Barry Crump, HUNT FOR the WILDERPEOPLE tells the tale of young misfit Ricky Baker and his gruff foster Uncle Hec.
When Ricky’s foster Aunt suddenly passes away, the unlikely duo find themselves on the run in the vast New Zealand bush, evading child services and the law. Forced to work together to survive despite their differences, the two form a bond in this hilarious and heart-felt adventure.
Celebrating Aotearoa’s unique culture, landscapes, and storytelling, fostering a sense of belonging and whānau, this adventure-comedy film highlights connection to the land, capturing a distinctly Aotearoa spirit. This heartwarming cinematic classic is the perfect film for reflecting on kāinga and whanaungatanga during the Māori New Year.
