Lee Tamahori worked his way up the filmmaking ranks, before debuting as a feature film director with 1994's Once Were Warriors. This portrait of a Māori family in turmoil became the most successful movie in Kiwi history, and was seen in countries around the world. Since then Tamahori has worked mainly in Hollywood.
It didn't change the nature of the society, but I said from the get-go, 'If one woman gets out of an abusive relationship because of this picture, I'll be a happy man.'
– Lee Tamahori on Once Were Warriors, in an interview on website The Hollywood Interview
