Ka Mate! Ka Mate!
Short Film (Full Length) – 1987
In two rain sodden weeks in November, the ‘graduates’ plunged into the production of a Māori language short drama, Ka Mate! Ka Mate! made by Barry [Barclay] from Tama [Poata]'s script and funded by the New Zealand Film Commission through Pacific Films. In December, half of these wananga had survived these initiation ceremonies.– Producer John O'Shea on Te Awa Marama, the collective who worked on Ka Mate! Ka Mate! and Ngati, in his book Don't Let it Get You, page 186
