Ngā Tamatoa: 40 Years On(2012)
The important thing is that the natives are daring at last to stand up and protest.
Ngā Tamatoa: 40 Years On Synopsis
Actor Rawiri Paratene was 16 years old when he joined Māori activist group Ngā Tamatoa (Young Warriors) in the early 1970s. "Those years helped shape the rest of my life," says Paratene in this 2012 Māori TV documentary, directed by Kim Webby. The programme is richly woven with news archive from the 1970s, showing protests about land rights and the Treaty of Waitangi, and a campaign for te reo to be taught in schools. Several ex Ngā Tamatoa members — including Hone Harawira, Tame Iti and Larry Parr— are interviewed by Paratene, who also presents the documentary.
Ngā Tamatoa: 40 Years On (2012) is a documentary film directed by Kim Webby, released on September 14, 2012 with a runtime of 52m. It stars Willie Jackson, Larry Parr, Rawiri Paratene and Hone Harawira.
