The film POI E tells the inspiring tale of how a beloved song, now revered as New Zealand's unofficial national anthem, came to be.

The story of Dalvanius Prime and the creation of "Poi E", a pioneering fusion of 1980s pop and traditional Maori music, which became the only song in Te Reo Maori to reach No 1 in the charts, a feat accomplished over 30 years ago in 1984.
