NZ On Screen: Patu 1983 (Full Length film)


Patu!
Today in 1981 the Springboks arrived to tour New Zealand. They were met by tremendous numbers of protestors, many of whom were outraged that the government’s endorsement of the tour was a tacit endorsement of the South African apartheid regime. The conflict is documented in Merata Mita’s extraordinary Patu! – just one of many titles spanning decades of public protest in The Protest Collection.
