Now's a good time to catch the Hannah McOwan-produced and directed Grass Roots: the wahine of Hikurangi Enterprises online. This latest in the Frame documentary series is produced for The Spinoff by Wrestler (for whom Hannah works) and funded by NZ on Air. And in it we meet the wāhine behind Hikurangi Enterprises, a cannabis co-op looking to revitalise Ruatōria, and a Ngāti Porou stronghold with a long and turbulent relationship to the plant.
