Rain of the Children
A Vincent Ward Film
Some secrets are kept forever
The movie depicts the life of Puhi Tatu, a beautiful Tuhoe wahine who was a part of 'some of the most dramatic events in our country's history'.
Puhi was chosen by Tuhoe Prophet Rua Kenana to marry his son. She witnessed and survived the 1916 Police raid on Rua's Maungapohatu community and went on to have 14 children. Puhi believed that she came under a curse which greatly effected her life and those of her children. It was this curse and Vincent's desire to understand who this woman was that inspired him to return after 20 years to learn her story.
Through inspiring footage, recreated history events and heart rendering interviews with Tuhoe descendants today, Vincent was able to tell Puhi's story to such an emotional extent.

46,000 Maori Voters missing...
"It's a terrible waste of mana that at a time when Maori have a real chance to determine who is in Government, we are losing people off the role." - Derek Fox, Maori Party.
Almost 46,000 Maori voters are missing from the electoral roll.
Elections New Zealand has released new figures that show just under 29,000 voters previously on the Maori Roll are not enrolled to vote. It has also discovered 17,000 Maori who were on the General Roll are now no longer there. The Electoral Enrolment Centre says they have obviously let their enrolment lapse by not updating their details after moving.
The involvement of Māori in New Zealand's electoral system is one of the most remarkable stories of New Zealand's political history. Read about Maori and the Vote...
