“Friendship is the story of the remarkable relationship between Maori silent-film star Witarina Harris and film historian Jonathan Dennis during the time Jonathan was facing the end of his life from cancer. Witarina, old and wise, full of aroha, accompanies Jonathan on his last journey. A portrait of wairua – spiritual force”. www.mic.org.nz/homegrown04.html
