Loading Docs 2017 - Kōtuku Rerenga Rua
Web (Full Length) – 2017
Kōtuku Rerenga Rua (the second flight of the heron) explores the impact of a near-death experience on Kōtuku Tibble. The teacher and media personality (from te teo Rugby World Cup commentator, to running language lessons on TV show Pūkana) talks about being reborn as the husband, father and leader he believes he is destined to be. Co-directed by Tim Worrall and Aaron Smart (The Road to Whakarae), the short documentary was made in te reo Māori for web series Loading Docs. Sadly Kõtuku Tibble died in his sleep, a few months after Kōtuku Rerenga Rua was completed.
A reo Māori story with kaha (strength) and kiko (substance) that is also inspiring – this was the private challenge we set ourselves....– Directors Tim Worrall and Aaron Smart on the kaupapa behind the documentary
