Actor and director Nancy Brunning bases her first play, Hikoi, on her own family story and sets it in the 1970s and 80s - the years of Bastion Point and Springbok Tour protests, predictions of the demise of Te Reo Maori, and Dame Whina Cooper's hikoi to Parliament.
Hikoi premieres at the Auckland Arts Festival.
Nancy Brunning talks to Lynn Feeman about Hikoi.
