Whānau Film Night - A Waitangi Event

Wellington City Council presents Whānau Film Night. Bring the whānau, a blanket, pack a picnic and a hot drink. Enjoy a night of Māori and Pacific short films followed by our feature movie 'Whina'.

The story of Dame Whina Cooper, the beloved Māori matriarch who worked tirelessly to improve the rights of her people, especially women. Flawed yet resilient, 'Whina' tells the story of a woman formed by tradition, compelled by innovation, and guided by an instinct for equality and justice whose legacy as the Te Whaea o te Motu (Mother of the Nation) was an inspiration to an entire country.

You are also warmly invited to come along to Te Rā o Waitangi and enjoy an award-winning line-up of Māori performers, food and culture. Monday 6 Feb, 12 noon - 6pm, Waitangi Park: www.wellington.govt.nz/waitangi
