Amidst one of New Zealand's most violent volcanic eruptions, Te Paea Hinerangi - known to many as Guide Sophia - would emerge a tower of strength and courage for the survivors.

Taonga: Treasures of Our Past retells precious Maori stories of romance, betrayal, politics and war, survival and heroism. Many of the stories have never been told on television before, and are brought to life with a mix of documentary footage and dramatisation using such well known actors as Ian Mune, Rawiri Paratene, Taungaroa Emile and Miriama McDowell.
