An East Coast community in RuatĆria, New Zealand attempts to live in autarchy according to the tenets of their movement. Bob Marley, a prophet of our electronic age, is the soundtrack to the everyday lives of these MÄori who feel closer to their own roots by observing a blend of Afro-Carribean Rastafarianism and the RingatĆ« faith. Merata Mita's camera respectfully portrays this singular cultural dialogue. The outsider cultures of Jamaicans, Ethiopians and MÄori have come together, vibrating to a common cosmic chord. They find an underground brotherhood, across continents and seas.
