Whale Rider
On the east coast of New Zealand, 11-year-old girl Pai believes she is the next in line to the throne of chief of the Whangara tribe—a hereditary title reserved for boys. Going against thousands of years of tradition and his stubborn grandfather, Pai proves that his courage and determination are stronger than dogma. This inspiring story about identity, family, and a heart-stopping legend teaches: fate doesn't always take the form we think it does.
