Whale Rider
Trailer
Overview
On New Zealand’s eastern coast, the Whangara people trace their lineage over a millennium to the legendary ancestor Paikea, who survived a disaster at sea by riding a whale. Traditionally, every Whangara chief, always male and the firstborn, is regarded as a direct descendant of Paikea. However, the 11-year-old Pai feels a calling to become the next chief, though her grandfather Koro adheres to customs that dictate only a male should lead. Despite her deep love for Koro, Pai bravely confronts him and centuries of tradition to realize her fate. Watch Whale Rider (2003) online free.
