Good People
The film night for Thursday 19th June for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.
This is a WFS Puanga Matariki special event - ONE NIGHT ONLY
At 6pm and 8pm, WFS will screen the documentary featuring NZ's home grown music powerhouse - Alien Weaponary: Kua Tupu Te Ara.
Alien Weaponry: Kua Tupu Te Ara
New Zealand, 2024 Doco, 95 mins
Cast: Henry De Jong, Lewis De Jong, Ethan Trembath, Turanga Morgan-Edmonds, Niel De Jong, Jette De Jong
This doco takes you to the very start of Alien Weaponry’s journey in 2010 with Waipu brothers, Henry De Jong and Lewis, who were then just ten and eight years old.
We see their first performances at Smokefree Rockquest, to European metal festivals, through to their international headlining concerts.
These tours have the occasional amusing brotherly spat, but also with random outbursts of “Tutira Mai Ngā Iwi”, joined by anyone who knows the words.
But what is most impressive about these young men is their commitment to keeping te reo Māori and Māori culture alive. Their music is written and performed in te reo Māori and tells the stories of tangata whenua (people of the land), the band members’ ancestors and denounces colonisation.
Henry and Lewis are still rising and still championing indigenous culture to the world.
A WFS Puanga Matariki film night special event - ONE NIGHT ONLY. Don't miss it.
