Powhiri Welcome Or Not
This documentary explores the place of powhiri in contemporary New Zealand society, and their power to both unite and divide. The documentary structure echoes its subject matter as it challenges and invites viewers to engage in a discussion about the place of tikanga me te reo Maori in contemporary New Zealand society. We mirror the sequential stages of a powhiri as the subject matter unfolds. The 'virtual powhiri' aspect divides the documentary into five parts: Wero; Karanga; Whaikorero; Hongi; Whakanoa. Along the way we explore a range of issues that commonly arise in the contemporary practice of powhiri. Modern ideals of gender equality come head to head with gender specific roles in powhiri. Features Ella Henry, Shane Jones, and Scotty and Stacey Morrison.
