    Superbly made, deep enough to give recognition of those tipuna who defied odds, and embraced human dignity, small act of kindness. May we learn and never forget courageous beings, fighting for peace.❤
  • I was learning about this in my social studies but now I can really depict and visualise what it was like

    What a timely release coinciding with the memorial of the battle of Gate Pa.at Pukehinahina.❤
  • A must watch for all New Zealanders. Know the history, you may begin to understand and not prejudge. Remember, British Colonialism was been replicated all over their empire at these times.

    I delved into this local local history as an artist years ago, really be quite obsessed with it. One of my works was of Heni and Booth at Gate Pa. I also spent a day wandering around Te Ranga and painted a couple works on this area. Heni had an interesting life, to say the least. It's worth reading the book, Jane's Story, if you're interested. I think her great grandson wrote it.

    That report from the Victorian era English newspaper was surprising.

    I would love to see this in movie form it has it all. With everyone’s (colonials, ministers, generals, iwi, hapu) perspective added for consideration. I would love to hear the perspective of the people who are mana whenua of the land in which the battles take place. Paraone Koikoi: Chief and leader of 200 Ngai Tamarawaho warriors in Gate Pa, should a bigger mention than no hint of existence in Pukehinahina or Te Ranga. However, I enjoyed the korero of the various iwi and hapu.

    pity the narrator is so biased towards the maori in this documentary , surely Forbes should be neutral with her narration ?
  • Hope to see more documentaries about te kootis war and Tikokowarus war
