In this short film, Māori university student Lena (played by Parekawa Finlay), has an unexpected encounter with fellow student Tai (Sebastian Hunter) that leads her on a journey to reconnect with her own whakapapa and identity. Interwoven with pūrākau, history and wairuatanga, the story sheds a light on who she really is. This film was commissioned by Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington to celebrate its 125th anniversary, and was made entirely by staff, students and alumni including Tanea Heke (Cousins) and David O’Donnell. The cultural authenticity of the film was overseen by both the local Iwi and Māori academics.
