When I used to visit the whanau in Pukekohe, that’s where I felt strong and confident, but in Christchurch it was a different feeling altogether. “But when ‘Poi E’ came out - I must have been 7 years old - I saw this young boy dressed in his maro, standing with his whānau doing those actions and he looked so awesome! “I felt like I saw myself. And then, as the video clip played on, I saw who I wanted to be: Joe Moana on top of the waka doing the bop. “So, in this one video clip I saw myself as I was and I saw who I wanted to be.” FACT SHEET Duration: 92 minutes Jawbone Pictures in association with the Patea Film Collective, Te Māngai Paho, NZ On Air and the NZ Film Commission with the support of the Dalvanius Prime Estate and the Patea Maori Club.
