RANGATIRA: IN THE BLOOD - DONNA AWATERE HUATA

“A documentary about Donna Awatere Huata, one of the most controversial of modern Maori leaders whose path from radical protester to ACT MP has taken her to the extreme edges of political action.” - the New Zealand Listener

“This edition of the Rangatira series chronicles the colourful life of Donna Awatere-Huata: activist, opera singer, psychologist, businesswoman, author, Ngā Tama Toa member, ‘81 Tour protest leader, daughter of war hero-turned-murderer. Awatere-Huata’s decades of dedication to Māori causes, including the promotion of literacy and education programmes, are reflected upon by Dr Ranginui Walker, Sir Roger Douglas, Tame Iti and Hana Te Hemara. Filmed here debuting in parliament as an ACT MP, Awatere-Huata was later to be expelled from the party and convicted of fraud.” - NZ On Screen; www.nzonscreen.com/title/rangatira-in-the-blood-donna-awatere-huata-1998; retrieved 17/08/2017.
