Actor Rawiri Paratene was 16 years old when he joined MÄori activist group NgÄ Tamatoa (Young Warriors) in the early 1970s. "Those years helped shape the rest of my life," says Paratene in this 2012 MÄori TV documentary, directed by Kim Webby. The programme is richly woven with news archive from the 1970s, showing protests about land rights and the Treaty of Waitangi, and a campaign for te reo to be taught in schools. Several ex NgÄ Tamatoa members â including Hone Harawira, Tame Iti and Larry Parrâ are interviewed by Paratene, who also presents the documentary.
