Jason Momoa stars in Chief of War, the bold new Apple TV+ historical epic that tells the story of Hawaiian resistance during the 18th century, blending gripping storytelling with Indigenous pride, warrior legacy, and colonial tension. This official trailer gives a powerful first glimpse into the series’ sweeping battles, cultural depth, and emotional stakes — and it’s already generating major buzz across New Zealand.

For Māori and Pasifika viewers, Chief of War resonates deeply. It echoes themes of sovereignty, land, leadership, and cultural survival that are central to Aotearoa’s own historical journey. From the haka to the heke, Kiwi audiences are drawing parallels between Hawaiian and Pacific Islander struggles and those of tangata whenua here in New Zealand.

Stunning cinematography, Indigenous storytelling, and Jason Momoa’s personal connection to his Polynesian roots make this more than a TV series — it’s a cultural event that deserves attention across the motu.
