Event Focus:
Take a journey from the top of the world to the bottom of the ocean with two powerful films celebrating the courage, resilience, and achievements of Indigenous women.
The program begins with "Te Ara – The Path," which follows Holly Beckham (Ngāpuhi) as she takes on a mission to become the first Māori woman to climb Mount Everest. With no alpine experience, Holly draws on her journey through addiction and recovery as she prepares to face one of the world’s greatest challenges.
The program continues with "Remathau: People of the Ocean," following Dr. Nicole Yamase, the first Micronesian and Indigenous person to dive to Challenger Deep, the deepest known point of the ocean, in the Marianas Trench.
The screenings will be followed by a Q&A, offering attendees the opportunity to hear firsthand from these inspiring mana wāhine—powerful women.
