Rūrangi(2020)

Rūrangi is a New Zealand drama series following Caz Davis, a transgender activist who returns to his small hometown after ten years away. Caz hopes to rebuild his relationship with his estranged father, who last saw him before his transition. Set in the remote, politically fractured dairy farming community of Rūrangi, the series explores the collision between Caz's activism and the conservative values of his rural roots. As Caz navigates old tensions and family wounds, he confronts the complexities of belonging and acceptance in a place that has changed—and hasn't—since he left. The show balances intimate family drama with broader questions about identity, community, and reconciliation in contemporary New Zealand.
