In Touch FM, part of the Ngā Puna anthology series, is a heartwarming drama set at an iwi radio station in 1990s Tāmaki Makaurau. The story follows high-flying corporate Katerina (Vicky Haughton) clashing with the station’s tight-knit staff, a collective bastion of culture for urban Māori in Auckland. At the heart of it all is Arama Wairua, a saxophonist whose once-promising career was derailed by overseas travel and addiction, distancing him from his whānau responsibilities. As music, humour, tikanga and te reo Māori weave on-air and off, In Touch FM explores identity, redemption and what it means to be Māori in the city.
