I had misgivings about an Indigenous film named "The Convert" for righteous reasons.
There's Nothing like watching The Crown's fueling of a 20 year civil war between Maaori to represent our entire history as the norm, from where we were navigating the oceans for 3000 years, using the coast as our former highway did we need the white saviour to arrive and teach us basic navigation.
At least the film didn't end with The Crown, to award us on our advancements in humanity with a knighthood as respecting parent.
It was also a relief in watching yet another white saviour in coming to our aid with our own medicine, to save us from ourselves.
