An All-American boy from NZ, Christchurch born Riki Ellison (Ngai Tahu) is the subject of this Māori Television documentary. Since moving to the United States at age eight, he has made a stellar career out of “kinetic energy intercept”. A fearless player with an intimidating “Maori look”, he was a champion college football defensive linebacker and three-time Superbowl winner with the San Francisco 49ers. Then, inspired by Ronald Reagan, he became a leading advocate for missile defence systems; while, along the way, reconnecting with his whānau and heritage.
