Join us for a special screening of ‘Ka Whawhai Tonu’ followed by a Q&A session with some of the key people involved in the creation of the film. Amidst the chaos of the infamous 1864 siege of O-Rākau in the Waikato, facing insurmountable odds, Māori defiantly stand their ground against the relentless advance of colonial forces in a struggle for sovereignty. Presented in te reo Māori, this ambitious historical drama tells the story of a pivotal moment in the New Zealand land wars from a Māori perspective.
