The Whale Rider

The "Whale Rider”film told the story of how women can be treated in certain cultures. The plot was mainly about a grandfather who wanted a grandson but instead got a granddaughter. He was very un-accepting of her, treating her like she was dirt. This was very much an understanding of their culture (Maori). Although her grandfather disliked her a lot of the time, she tried to push to prove that she was worth enough. A great example is that Koro was very for the culture, and who ever spoke badly about it was put in their place-- he was very set in his ways.
