NĀ RĀTOU, MŌ TĀTOU: LET’S HONOUR THEM TOGETHER

The first ever broadcast of New Zealand’s moving memorial service at Chunuk Bair in Gallipoli will be a major highlight of Māori Television’s ANZAC Day line-up on Wednesday April 25.

Judy Bailey will be joined by presenter Julian Wilcox this year to co-host the all-day coverage from 5.30 AM while Wena Harawira will report from the Gallipoli peninsula on the experiences and emotions of the many New Zealanders that attend the ANZAC services.

The broadcast – NĀ RĀTOU, MŌ TĀTOU: LET’S HONOUR THEM TOGETHER – will cross live to the dawn service at Te Papaiouru Marae on the shores of Lake Rotorua at 6.00 AM and will also cover the dawn service in Auckland at 7.00 AM, Gallipoli in Turkey at 2.00 PM and Chunuk Bair at 10.00 PM.

As well as veteran interviews, debates and discussions, other schedule highlights include an inaugural ANZAC address by a prominent New Zealander, a critically acclaimed documentary by Turkish filmmaker Tolga Ornek and a special concert showcasing songs from the Vietnam War era.

The broadcast will again be a co-production with Screentime Limited. Executive producers are Tainui Stephens and John Keir.

Last year’s unprecedented ANZAC Day coverage won Best NZ Sports or Event Coverage at the 2006 Qantas Television Awards and also Best Documentary for the TV Guide Best on the Box People’s Choice Awards.

Wena Harawira – who co-hosted the award-winning broadcast with Bailey in 2006 – says the ANZAC stories will span a broad spectrum of emotions, cultures and lands.

“I’m looking forward to being part of the team that brings those stories to viewers. Every New Zealander should tune in to Māori Television at some point during the day because in remembering those who fought in all the wars that have taken place over the years – we honour them.”

Join Māori Television for NĀ RĀTOU, MŌ TĀTOU: LET’S HONOUR THEM TOGETHER on ANZAC Day, Wednesday April 25 from 5.30 AM.
