In 1979, a group of young Moriand Pasifika activists sought to stop Pkeh students at the University of Auckland performing a parody of haka each capping week. Unfortunately, the consequences for those activists were severe many were convicted of crimes. Director Katie Wolfe uncovers this largely forgotten event in New Zealand’s history with interviews from both in this resonant and thought-provoking documentary.
