Summary
Accused of terrorism, running a private militia and jailed on gun charges, political activist Tame Iti fights for his tribe Ngai Tuhoe to be a sovereign nation within New Zealand. How high is the price of peace?. Tame?s life changed forever on October 15, 2007. In the dead of night, heavily armed police in military style uniform raided his home and the homes of many more people in what became known as the infamous “terror raids.” For the next six years he fought to clear his name and the name of his Tuhoe people. This documentary follows Tame through the Court system, through his jail sentence, and is with him on his return home.. Two months after his return from prison the Independent Police Conduct Authority releases its report into the police raids. It declares the Ruatoki roadblocks and detention of innocent people at gunpoint illegal, ill conceived and unfortunate. The people regard this as vindication of their position all along. But the report also says the raids were justified. Police are prepared to apologise. Tuhoe are in no hurry to hear it..
