Into the Valley (2023)
INTO THE VALLEY is a four part documentary series that takes us into the lives of the people from both sides of the line who experienced the Tuhoe raids in 2007, when government forces attack a remote New Zealand indigenous community in search of domestic terrorism. An in-depth and personal story, as told by the people of Tuhoe young adults who were children caught up in the raids, artist-activist Tame Iti, as well as politicians, and police officers. Told with retrospective insight, film excerpts, archives along a personal ride deep into the valley.
