Kahe Te Rau o te Rangi swims a treacherous channel in the dark of night to save her people, with her baby on her back. Hinepoupou, left for dead by her abusive husband, sets out on a long-distance swim home accompanied by her dolphin ancestors and fuelled by thoughts of revenge. Huria Matenga battles through raging seas to rescue sailors from a sinking ship. Pania of the Moana turns the tables on her husband, refusing to let him control her.
