The premiere of Tirohia Karioi – Behold Karioi drew a full house on Saturday afternoon with 95 people attending the red-carpet launch, followed by two packed community screenings on Sunday at Stewart St Church Hall.
The flaxroots documentary weaves together the voices of hapū, long-settled whānau, artists, trappers and conservationists to tell the many stories of Karioi. Produced by the Toitū Whaingaroa team, the film captures both the physical beauty of the maunga and the deep cultural and community ties that continue to shape its story.
