Written and created by high-school students and their teacher, and set in the heart of Auckland, Chasing Stars follows Marama, a bold teenager who stumbles upon corruption within the influential Global Music company, where her mother works. Determined to expose the truth, Marama faces resistance from a tightly controlled industry driven by greed and deception. As she digs deeper, she crosses paths with Willow, a once-spirited musician who has lost herself in the corporate machine. Inspired by Marama's determination, Willow begins to reconnect with her love of music and reevaluate her choices. At the same time, young talents like Aria and Birdie navigate their dreams and ambitions, caught between the allure of fame and the cost of staying true to themselves. With friendships, family ties, and integrity at stake, Marama must rally others to stand with her as she challenges a powerful system that stifles creativity and truth. Chasing Stars is a poignant story of self-discovery, courage, and the fight to keep our humanity and authenticity alive in an increasingly manufactured world.
