Te Whānau o Aotearoa - Caretakers of the Land (2003)
The sun warms us, the rain showers us, but the land cannot feed us
Filmed in 2002, this documentary observes a group of people living on Wellington's streets. After being moved on from Cuba Mall, the group sets up a "village of peace" by the Cenotaph. Led by the dreadlocked 'Brother' (aka Ben Hana), they attempt to gain an audience with the government. Their self-proclaimed marae provokes police, public, politicians and media.
