MAKING CONSERVATION COOL ON MĀORI TELEVISION

Māori Television is making conservation cool with the launch of KOMMIKAL’S CHRONICLES this Monday August 1 at 5.30 PM.

KOMMIKAL’S CHRONICLES is a wildlife series with a unique twist, presented by young, urban hip-hop MC Kommikal (aka Brett Tamati-Elliffe) in his own freewheeling, free-associating style.

In a fresh approach to getting young people interested in the natural environment, Kommikal journeys into the wild – seemingly a long way from his usual city street and radio studio habitat.

Kommikal travels in his trusty Holden Statesman car around Te Waipounamu (South Island) nature spots, discovering rare and endangered birds, reptiles and plants, checking out Department of Conservation special projects, visiting unusual places like ancient Māori pa sites and the Pounamu Trails of Central Otago.

Along the way, he finds interesting people to explain what he’s seeing, drops in incidental facts and then sums it all up in a rhyme or a song as he cruises on to the next place of interest.

MC Kommikal (Te Atiawa, Ngāti Mutunga, Ngāti Tama, Taranaki, Kai Tahu, Kati Mamoe) describes himself as a bilingual hip-hop MC and recording artist. He grew up in Dunedin and started his television career hosting Scream 2 – a music show on the local channel Cow TV. He is now based in Christchurch, where he hosts a hip-hop, RnB show called Gritty Antix on Tahu FM and co-hosts the Māori Television live hip-hop show Tūhono.

In the first episode, Kommikal makes his first foray out and takes viewers on an adventure around Banks Peninsula. His adventures include tracking kereru through native bush, meeting the ‘Lizard Lady’ and her lizards and riding the high seas searching for Hector Dolphins.

DOCUMENTARY : STEVEN WALLACE

The fatal shooting of Steven Wallace by police in Waitara in 2000 created national controversy with a llegations of racism and a police conspiracy to hide evidence raised by Wallace’s family and supporters.

Was this a simple case of good guy wiping out the bad guy? Or was there more to the death of Steven Wallace? These are the questions highlighted in this week’s Monday night documentary STEVEN WALLACE (Monday August 1 at 8.30 PM).

From his school years, teens and life growing up in Waitara, STEVEN WALLACE profiles the 23 year old and his life leading up to his shooting by Senior Constable Keith Abbott. It also sources eyewitness accounts, police statements and graphics to analyse what happened the night he died.

Senior Constable Keith Abbott was acquitted two years later of a private murder prosecution brought by the Wallace family. The constable said he was defending himself from Wallace who had attacked an occupied police car and was then advancing on him armed with a bat.

Five years on, Wallace’s case still continues. In April 2005, Chief High Court Judge Justice Anthony Randerson ruled that the inquest into the police shooting death of Waitara man Steven Wallace should go ahead.

The inquest will look at two issues - examining police policies when dealing with violent offenders in similar circumstances, and the provision of first aid, including the care given to Mr Wallace.

A Steven Wallace Independent Enquiry Fund established soon after allace’s death still operates to help the family with legal costs and expenses. The family has also campaigned for possible changes to the law and to police procedures.

STEVEN WALLACE screens on Māori Television on Monday August 1 at 8.30 PM.
