Shopping

In the midst of New Zealand's 1981 racial tensions, "Shopping" tells the story of Willie, a half-Samoan teenager who finds an unlikely sense of belonging among a group of shoplifters led by the charismatic and eccentric Bennie. As Willie becomes drawn into their world, he must confront the consequences of his choices on his vulnerable younger brother Solomon, caught in the midst of their father's violent tendencies. With its raw, unflinching portrayal of adolescent angst and family turmoil, "Shopping" is a powerful coming-of-age drama that shines a light on a pivotal moment in New Zealand history.
