In two rain sodden weeks in November, the ‘graduates’ plunged into the production of a Māori language short drama, Ka Mate! Ka Mate! made by Barry [Barclay] from Tama [Poata]'s script and funded by the New Zealand Film Commission through Pacific Films.

Ka Mate! and Ngati, in his book Don't Let it Get You, page 186
