'Whale Rider' Showcases Maori Community Jun 6, 1:51 PM EST Keisha Castle-Hughes dissolved into giggles after admitting she'd never heard the Maori legend of the Whale Rider until she auditioned for the lead role in a film based on the story Now the legend of Paikea, who led Maori to New Zealand on the back of a whale, is being spread throughout the world through the low-budget movie "Whale Rider 7 million, the film won acclaim at the Rotterdam, Sundance and Toronto film festivals this year Maori actor Rawiri Paratene, who plays Koro, says the film's appeal is based on the time-honored struggle between old and new, men and women, tradition and change It traces the legend of Paikea and his legacy The 13-year-old was even more embarrassed because her ancestors come from the same sliver of Pacific Ocean coastline in northeast New Zealand where the Whale Rider and his tribe arrived hundreds of years ago, bringing the first Maori to the country But when the latest chief's son fathers twins, the baby boy dies and the elder, a girl, survives Koro and Pai, as she is known, cycle together through the sandy hills of their tiny community from school every day Paikea's father, Porourangi, grief-stricken after his wife dies in childbirth, travels to Germany to pursue a career in art, leaving the girl in the care of her unloving grandfather " The film also showcases New Zealand's picturesque landscapes and beaches and opens a window into the indigenous Maori community and its traditions The girl is named Paikea after the whale rider, infuriating her grandfather Koro, who refuses to consider a girl for an heir For Koro, this was the end of his line "I've always wanted to be an actress but now that I've had the chance I don't know if I really want to," she said Castle-Hughes was plucked from obscurity when she was 11 to play Paikea, her first acting experience "It's really hard com/ During this routine, the two develop a bond â€â€? particularly once Koro decides to round up the tribe's youths to determine who will be the next chief For more than 1,000 years, a male heir was born to the Maori tribal chief, continuing Paikea's line Made on a shoestring budget of $5 "I don't know if they'll give me something different, I think I've got an unfair advantage over the other kids," she told The Associated Press in an interview Despite his unwavering adherence to male-dominated Maori tradition, Koro's love for his granddaughter begins to filter through "Why is leadership such a hard thing in terms of gender? We're all sitting here watching that movie and every single one of us can see what he can't see â€â€? `Silly old goat, open your eyes!'" Paratene said, laughing Castle-Hughes will not be able to avoid learning more about the story since it has become part of her high school's literature classes " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
