New Zealand documentary about the Whanganui iwi and their longstanding struggle to reclaim guardianship over their ancestral river. From the director of Tatarakihi: The Children of Parihaka.
"In 1995 an iwi-lead occupation of Pakaitore – a sacred block of land in central-city Whanganui widely known as Moutua Gardens – lasted 80 days. The protest drew support from other iwi across New Zealand and highlighted the longstanding struggle for custodianship of the river. Te Awa Tupua revisits the Pakaitore occupation in considerable depth, drawing on conversations amongst those who were there." (New Zealand International Film Festival)
