Merata Mita

A passionate advocate for Māori creative control, director Merata Mita has documented some of the most controversial events of New Zealand’s last fifty years. Mita’s work includes Patu!, a documentary on the 1981 Springbok tour. Her drama Mauri is the second fiction feature directed by a Māori woman.
