The second episode in the three part documentary trilogy. After five years of enduring passive occupation on the land, a group of six cousins are faced with defending their land from police officers with eviction papers. A movement grows that will shake the nation.
The first episode in the 3 part documentary trilogy investigates the occupation at Ihumātao from the perspective of the leaders of the campaign to #ProtectIhumātao. This episode looks at the rise of a generation who’s objective was to put a stop to a commercial development that was happening on their front doorstep. We rally with them as they take on the powers that be from the front steps of Parliament to the chambers of council and prepare for a war that looms.
In the final episode of the series, the #ProtectIhumātao campaign grows, so too does the dream. The movement realises its potential and sights are set on stopping development and uniting towards a road to resolution.
