This 1981 NFU film is a tour of the contemporary world of Aotearoa’s tangata whenua. It won headlines over claims that its portrayal of Māori had been sanitised for overseas viewers. Debate and a recut ensued.

He later told journalists that the controversy showed that educated members of minority groups were no longer prepared to let the majority interpret the minority view.
