Celebrating Merata Mita! "Merata Mita is a key figure in the story of Māori filmmaking. Through documentaries, interviews and her only dramatic feature Mauri, she was a passionate voice for Māori, and an advocate for social change." Read more on NZ On Screen's biography of Merata Mita: Director, Writer, Producer [Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāi Te Rangi].

Mauri (1988) "When she made Mauri, Merata Mita became the first Māori woman to write and direct a dramatic feature. Mauri (meaning life force), is loosely set around a love triangle and explores cultural tensions, identity, and changing ways of life in a dwindling East Coast town."
