 Synopsis

Described as a "Māori Twilight Zone", Mataku presents a series of half-hour dramatic narratives steeped in Māori mystique. Mataku was produced for TV3, with episodes covering a range of Māori experience with the "unexplained". The bi-lingual series was produced by Māori writers, directors and actors and was a strong export and domestic success. Producer Carey Carter: "Our people are very spiritual ... and here we are [...] turning it into stories so that the rest of the world can get a glimpse of that aspect of our culture."
