Yes, this is a sequel to ONCE WERE WARRIORS, but this script can
stand alone. Five years have passed and Jake has turned his back
on his family. He is still up to his drinking and fighting at
bars. Now his eldest son has died in a gang fight, and an
uncomfortable "family reunion" at the funeral sets off number two
son, Sonny, with he and Jake taking off on each other. Now it is
Sonny being drawn into gang life, but this time Jake is beginning
a journey of change to responsibility. Recommended.
