We Were Dangerous - Official Trailer

A hard no.

I can’t wait for religion to finally stop interfering in peoples’ lives… 😢
it has always been amazing to me how women get punished for what men are encouraged to do

The movie was shot on Banks Peninsula, but it looks like some location shots of the real Somes Island were used too. Somes Island has a history of quarantine and internment, but I don’t think it was for social undesirables.

Māori language!

Looks good

Loved this. .. It finished too soon.

Any chances it gets release to America???

Well that was the best fucking film I’ve ever watched in my life

More mythological ferry tales from the Land of the Long White Shroud.

Soundtrack is out now

Song name?

Preview of the "Seyless boot camps for girls"?

a story needing to be told..

I need the name of this SONG immediately. @madmanfilms

Every “modern society “ has a similar story of cruelty and gentrification in its past.

What’s the song

whats the name of the song at the start? Shazam getting no result

This would just depress me

Churches have a hell of a lot to answer for

Hope it can also be shown in Manila, Philippines!

Looks crap

An example of Patriarchal society at its most base.

Many people don't know but after WW2, the US, Europe, Australia, most of these allied countries refused to prosecute the genocide of the Roma people. In 2024 many of these same European countries refuse Roma people access the education and legal structures that would allow them to improve their lives. After WW2 the One Drop Rule continued to be used for decades, forced sterilization, anti miscegenation laws. All under the guise of law as it was in the US as well. 👈

The actress playing the woman in charge, is she of white european descent ? or is she a very lightskin polynesian ? because it can really change the reading of the movie.

instead of cell phones girls just use to lez out.. i will now finsh watching this to see how right i am… ah well they kinda allude to it we’ll see im on to yall 👀

Wow! Love Rima. Well done Piki Fims. It looks powerful and very timely as our current NZ government plans to re-introduce "boot camps" (Borstal style institutions) for young offenders in New Zealand !!! 😒😒 Maybe our PM and his cabinet need to be locked in a room and forced to watch this movie.

Inna lillahi wa inna illayhi rajioon

The oppression these people wrought on others has yet not been set right. And their moral and economic heirs don’t believe they owe anything to anyone.

boring, useless, women crap...just like star disney

when u love nz cinema buț live in the uk -_-

Bella from wilder people!

The "troubled teen" industry was and is an endless source of nightmare fuel.

I'm glad we're de-stigmatizing juvenile delinquency and criminals enough so that we can finally open our eyes and start stopping these evils.

this looks so good! I hope I can watch it in America! Does anyone know what the song at the end is? It doesn't play long enough for my iPhone to recognize it

Reminds me of "The Chorus/Les Choristes"

Wow, that’s Rima te Wiata - I recognised her eyes and voice immediately, even though it’s been nearly 4 decades since her “Sons and Daughters” stint as Janice. So great to see her again!

Why am I crying?? It looks beautiful can't wait to see it

What’s that song at the end?

In Denmark from 1923-1961 there was a home/clinic on an island for "morally defective" girls, that were infamous for how cruelly they treated the girls, which included forced sterilization.

Omg I look forward to this. But something tells me I might cry…a lot.

Hope I can see this in the US.

As soon as the trailer started Kiwi/New Zealand made popped into my head

Hollywood bad mouthing Christianity yet again

I totally want to see this…. Nnnnnnoot! 👨🏻

People are waffeling on about the music. Ffs. Take a look at history.

Mīharo Manaia 🎉🎉🎉

Stunning and brave.

"Send out--the Rover."

For the love of God please tell us what the song is and where we can hear this version!

Spoiler in trailer: Water splashing at the end and the girl on the raft/boat holding on to the wooden stick (most likely a raft) as she escapes the island. The matriarch also displays a lot of Narcissism and some scapegoating. She tends to abuse the girls verbally while displacing her own shadow side on to the girls.

Where can I watch this?
