Every culture has its traditions about how the world was created. Māori have many of them - giants digging out lakes, water creatures rising up to form hills, and mountains engaging in a battle for the affections of a beautiful maiden. These stories and many more have been passed down through the generations, revealing a world in constant change and a deep connection with nature and the land. This film brings together a selection of these stories with exquisite imagery of New Zealand's extraordinary landscape. The ancient Māori traditions are brought to life by legendary storyteller Joe Harawira, and traditional Māori music by Ngā Taonga Pūoro authority Richard Nunns.
