The movie Whale Rider is about a girl Pai who wasn't valued as a person by people in her town because she is a girl and her twin brother was supposed to be the new leader but unfortunately he died at birth. Koro Pai's grandfather wished that she would never be born. Koro starts to train boys to crown a new leader of the tribe. Pai attends the meeting but is kicked out by her grandfather. She secretly trains by herself. Koro has the group of boys go into the ocean and find his whale tooth necklace. None of the boys find it. Pai later finds it when she went fishing with her familly. The whales of the ocean come out into the sand and start dieing. Pai believes its her fault. All the whales start to die. The biggest whale which Koro believes is sent by the ancient ones starts to die as well. After the village people make an effort to bring the whales back to the water but they give up and leave. Pai stays with the whale to try to call to the ancient ones. The whale come back to life and takes Pai with it back to the ocean. The people believe that Pai died but she recovers. At the end the village has a celebration and the story ends. I liked to watch this movie because it shows that who ever you are you can achieve the goals you like. Whether your female or male you can be a leader or someone who people look up to.
