Pākiri: The Filmmaker, the Cook & the Singer

The film unfolds at Pākiri beach, where these accomplished women share insights into their personal lives and the motivations behind their work. Themes of friendship and vulnerability are central, particularly in Moana Maniapoto's reflections following the disbanding of her group Moana and the Moahunters.

As a documentary, it captures the richness of indigenous perspectives and experiences, making it an important piece for those interested in Māori culture and narratives. The film was produced by the University of Auckland as part of a Film and Media Studies project, showcasing the talents of both the director and the featured individuals.
