INTO THE VALLEY is a four part documentary series that takes us into the lives of the people from both sides of the line who experienced the Tuhoe raids in 2007, when government forces attack a remote New Zealand indigenous community in search of domestic terrorism. An in-depth and personal story, as told by the people of Tuhoe young adults who were children caught up in the raids, artist-activist Tame Iti, as well as politicians, and police officers. Told with retrospective insight, film excerpts, archives along a personal ride deep into the valley.
Tame Iti, Cliff Curtis and Tearepa Kahi openly discuss the experiences of creating a cultural, artistic and authentic response to the police raids against Tuhoe. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
Damian, Special Tactics Group, opens up on how they conducted their operation, why he needed to be there, and why Maori must continue to be on the frontline. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
The heartache remains as Ati shares his story, alongside his younger brother Maraki. Memories of a school bus ride where armed police made a lasting impression. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
Sixteen years on from the raids, we hear from the community from both sides of the line, and how the actions of a single operation continue to impact them today. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
