In this epic new series for Maori Television, the stories of Maori figures painted by the artist Gottfried Lindauer reveal a far more daring past. Over seven episodes, the personal stories of twenty-one tūpuna are presented with startling honesty by their descendants. (PREMIERE) Behind The Brush is made with the support of Te Māngai Pāho, NZOnAir and the Auckland Art Gallery, Toi o Tāmaki which holds the largest collection of Lindauer paintings. Produced by AWA Films and directed by Julian Arahanga.
