The unforgettable story of New Zealand war hero John Pohe – one of the first Māori pilots of the RNZAF and a leader of air crews in the skies over Europe.

Thought-provoking look at the Iraq war and concepts of brotherhood, honour, grief and martyrdom which pervade the life of Ibrahim – a young man whose brother was killed by American soldiers.

When the Government of the day announced plans to commit Bastion Point to development, tangata whenua set up an occupied protest on the land.  This seminal documentary, by Merata Mita, captures the moments on Day 507 of that occupation – May 25, 1978 - when the army was sent in to remove the protesters. This documentary was banned for broadcast for some 10 years after it was made.

Thirty years on from events at Bastion Point, Julian Wilcox and the team mark this significant milestone in Māori history.  Prominent New Zealanders and grassroots people involved in events look back, discuss and evaluate the importance of the occupation.  In the studio: past occupiers, police personnel and Sir Paul Reeves.  Sharon Hawke – the daughter of Bastion Point activist Joe – produces this flagship show for Māori Television.

In 1999, another team of documentary makers pick up the thread of the story where Merata Mita’s piece – Bastion Point Day 507 - left off.  Director: Bruce Morrison, producers William Grieve and Sharon Hawke.
