Next week, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is bringing home to DVD writer and director Taika Waititi‘s exceptionally well-reviewed adventure Hunt for the Wilderpeople. As a special treat, ComingSoon.net is pleased today to present the film’s first ten minutes. In the player below, you can take a look at the opening of Wilderpeople and get a sense of what makes the film so special.

Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec, and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family.
