In this 2003 short film, Turangawaewae, Wi Kuki Kaa plays a traumatised Vietnam veteran. His family's solution to his distress is to return him to his ancestral marae. A community of origin, traditionally based around a marae, is known in Māori as a tūrangawaewae – the place to which a member of that community has the right to return.
