Mānawatia a Matariki

A road movie like no other: Kath Akuhata-Brown's Kōkā In the new feature film Koka an elder Maori woman, under the celestial guidance of Matariki, makes a long journey home in a car that's seen better days. For Koka's director, Kath Akuhata-Brown of Ngati Porou, this has also been a long journey - to make a film on her own terms.
