A charismatic, six-foot-five teen is a university graduate by 13; attends Yale at 16; and is an excellent dancer and traditional storyteller to boot. Ngaa Rauuira Pumanawawhiti has a big future ahead of him with people imaging that he will become Prime Minister some day and yet this documentary also shows a down-to-earth boy who – like all teenagers – just wants to hang out with his mates.
