A perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, Tina is one of the most successful New Zealand films of all time. This crowd-pleasing and heartwarming movie is the story of Samoan teacher Mareta Percival. Struggling after the death of her daughter in the devastating New Zealand earthquakes in Christchurch, Mareta reluctantly takes on the role of substitute teacher at an elite private school and is surprised to find children crying out for guidance, inspiration and love. Using the symphony of her culture to empower her students, she forms a choir, bringing them together while unexpectedly rediscovering her passion for being a teacher and mother.
