With this and Anahera’s (Awhina-Rose Ashby, Dear Murderer) unmasking of the macron bomber, the culture war intensifies between the transgender activists, farmers, and local Māori in the town of Rūrangi — all while ancestors from the past reach out to the living with unfinished business. (Video is from Season 1)
