There are stories that entertain us… and then there are stories that remind us who we are.

🎥 We sat down with Tearepa Kahi, director of Sgt. Haane, as he shares the inspiration behind telling the story of a Māori soldier who went to battle during WWII with the legendary 28th Māori Battalion. A powerful kōrero about sacrifice, identity, courage, and the legacy left behind for generations to come.

🎞 The film is now screening at Starlight Cinema Centre Taupō from Thursday 14th May 2026 — make sure you go and watch it on the big screen.

🎙The interview concludes with a meaningful discussion alongside Waka Asher, reflecting on the importance of ANZAC Day — a time to remember and honour those who fought for freedom and peace.

Ki ngā māmā katoa, ngā kuia, ngā whaea, me ngā ringa aroha o te ao. Tēnei te mihi nui ki a koutou i tēnei Rā o ngā Māmā. Ngā mihi i ō katoa, mō te aroha mutunga kore, me ngā haepapa i kawe koutou mō te whānau ia rā.

For many of us, home was never really a place, it was our mum. The person who comforted us on the hard days, believed in us before we believed in ourselves, and loved us through every stage of life.

Nā koutou mātou i whakaako ki te aroha, ki te manaaki tangata, me te tū kaha ahakoa ngā taumahatanga o te ao. Ko ngā akoranga me te aroha i tuku iho mai e koutou, ka kawea tonutia e mātou mō ake tonu atu.

Today is for celebrating, remembering, and honouring all mums - those who are with us today, and those who live on through our memories and our hearts.

Whakanuia Te Rā o Māmā 💝
