In 1979, group of young Māori and Pasifika activists tried to stop Pākehā students at the University of Auckland performing a parody of haka each capping week. Unfortunately, the consequences for those activists were severe - many were convicted.
Three years ago actor, writer and director Katie Wolfe's play The Haka Party Incident opened in Auckland. Now, she's made a documentary intertwining views from both sides of the confrontation. It will have its world premiere at the New Zealand International Film Festival.
