“A dramatisation of the days leading up to 6 February 1840 when the gathered Maori leaders signed the Treaty of Waitangi, told in recreations and interviews with the participants and locals.” - imdb.com, 21/3/2011.
Scriptwriter Gavin Strawhan: “it's incredible that Hobson arrived with no treaty prepared, and that Busby and others had to cobble it together and get it translated at the last minute ... But one of the points I wanted to make was that the tangata whenua were not acting in unison as a united group with common aims, but were comprised of many individual chiefs, all with different motives and objectives.” - www.thebigidea.co.nz; 21/3/2011.
