Ian Bennett lives in the UK
and he works at a National Museum.
The Museum has received a letter asking for the return of a mystical Maori relic to a New Zealand
village. Ian travels to the
village to talk to the people about the sacred mask. Ian has been instructed by the museum that under no
circumstances will the mask be returned to the village? A promotion for Ian is riding on the
outcome of his trip.
The scenery in this film is very beautiful
and the Maori people are very unique.
The people don’t understand what a museum in the UK is really like? They decide they will build their own
museum in their village in order to have the proper place for the mask when it
returns. Ian tries to get them to
realize there isn’t a chance for them to have the proper place and the UK will
never return their property?
Instead of changing the village people they begin to change Ian!! Everything he has worked for in is adult
life, is it really been worth the effort?
Does the mask really belong in the UK? The Maori people place so much faith and reverence in the
mask. To the museum, it's just another artifact? 3 ½* (I liked this movie)

A woman asks her son what he is doing? He says he is “re-configuring a hard drive.” He is clearly working on a computer
power supply and not a hard drive?
