Amiri & Aroha is a Māori take on Romeo & Juliet, set against a background of gang rivalry and tribal hostility on the stunning East Cape of New Zealand. Aroha is the daughter of a notorious gang leader, desperate to escape from the gang and an arranged gangland marriage to her cousin Hunapo. Amiri is a hotshot businessman from Auckland who promises Aroha a new life, away from the gang. But Hunapo, a gang leader in waiting, refuses to let go of Aroha and the gang accuses her of bigamy and threatens reprisals if she marries Amiri. [New Zealand]
