Louise Nikau writes about our film, ‘Our Seeds’ from New Zealand.
Kia ora Jude I love it!!! The music, the message, the celebrations, we were inspired and we are planning our own celebrations. Everything was put together in such a beautiful way.
We had a screening last year with a visiting friend’s copy. This will be a repeat with a seed swap. We decided to buy our own (as Amanda is now in Australia). It will be used in comunities all around the Bay of Plenty alongside our kakano (seeds) and the work we are doing. It echoes our place and our people. Another kakano for our collection.
Arohanui, Louise
