TAI WHENUA. 26/11/2006

“The tropical island of Tikorangi is in crisis. Its number one industry – selling bird droppings to the Europeans – has, well, dropped off. Without a source of income, the island’s king must send a representative to neighbouring Aotearoa to investigate other farming ideas. The man chosen for this important mission is Mana – played by talented actor Mana Epiha (Ngapuhi) – whose adventures are at the heart of funny farming show TAIWHENUA.
During his h koi around the motu, Mana ends up matchmaking for Alpacas, having a heart-to-heart with hens, feeling amorous on oysters and performing TV’s first prawn haka. Every moment is captured by his timid cousin on camera so Mana can take the ideas back to his King and the people of Tikorangi.” www.maoritelevision.com, 15/02/2007
