Congratulations to Todd Karehana & Piata Gardiner Hoskins for the Experimental Audio Award win at imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival, for their six-episode Māori scripted drama podcast, The River.
No Māori Allowed, directed by Corinna Hunziker and produced by Megan Jones and Reikura Kahi, received the Pasifika Award and a $5,000 cash prize at the Hawaii International Film Festival! The story follows a teacher who unearths a secret past in the town of Pukekohe, that causes Māori community figures to come forward to share personal stories that shaped their lives.
You can listen to The River on Māori+, Spotify, RNZ and Apple Podcasts.
