        I Ain’t Mad At Cha is about a young Māori boy’s relationship with rhymes.

        It’s 1999 and Kiwa struggles with the whole “being Māori” thing. If it’s not his bro giving him shit about being a ‘wanna-be’ rapper, it’s his GF Izzy who wants the world, or the local dairy owner who knows all about ‘his kind’ of people, or worst of all, his own Uncle Hamu – a local cop and local douche bag.

        Kiwa’s done with being judged – worst of all by his own people. How do black American fullas who live 20,000km away make him feel more understood than his own whānau and iwi do?
