Tearepa Kahi is a film director and former actor of Ngāti Paoa and Waikato Tainui descent. Kahi is best known for the 2013 drama Mt. Zion starring Stan Walker, and the Pātea Māori Club documentary Poi E: The Story of a Song and we are privileged to have spoken to him on ANZAC day morning about his latest Sgt. Haane. Sgt. Haane tells the story of L. Sgt. Haane Manahi DCM whose extraordinary courage during a 1943 World War II battle at Takrouna, Tunisia, secured a critical victory for the Allies. Blending dramatic re‑enactment with the voices of descendants, the film explores legacy, whakapapa and remembrance.
