White Lies is a story about the nature of identity: those who deny it and those who strive to protect it. Paraiti (Whirimako Black) is a medicine woman. She is the healer and midwife of her rural, tribal people – she believes in life. But new laws are in force prohibiting unlicensed healers.
Now an elder medicine woman and midwife in a Maori village in New Zealand, the white man's laws are preventing her from healing the people who come for care.
