A trailer for a new television series based on the story of the rise of The Polynesian Panthers has been released, Stuff reports. Set in Auckland in 1974, the show sees ‘Ilolahia – the black sheep of his Tongan family and ‘The Professor’ of the streets – frustrated at seeing his community stuck in a broken system. Muldoon’s arrival as Prime Minister in 1975 fuels the divide between white and Polynesian New Zealanders and sees the start of the racially-targeted Immigration Dawn Raids.
