EAST MEETS SOUTH ON
A documentary that explores the delicate links between a prominent Māori-Indian family in Aotearoa screens on Māori Television with TAMARA / SANGAM this Monday October 31 at 8.30 PM. Premiered in Auckland in Auckland’s Capitol Cinema in May 2003, the documentary is a labour of love for film maker Mandrika Rupa who pays tribute to her grandparents and their love that blossomed in rural Waikato in an unconventional time. Kara Rupa and Emma Kihi broke all conventions when they settled together in the Aramiro area in the 1930s. The relationship between the two cultures began in the early 1900s with the arrival of a group of Indian immigrants when a law banning Indian and Chinese people from New Zealand was lifted. However, only men were allowed and women did not arrive in New Zealand until the 1940s. “This history is not unique to me. Indian families that have been here for a long time go through the same process. We are who we are but we also have this love and understanding for the people of this land too,” she says. The film is a collaboration between Ms Rupa and Māori film makers Mika Wapiti and Claudette Hauiti, and is delivered in te reo Māori and Hindi with English language sub-titles. Insightful and endearing, TAMARA / SANGAM screens on Māori Television this Tuesday October 31 at 8.30 PM.
