We are proud to announce our next kaupapa, MIRUMIRU an animated short film—a deeply moving and profound project that celebrates kaumātuatanga (eldership) and explores the impacts of mate wareware (dementia) on whānau.

Our kaumātua and kuia are living longer than ever before, but more and more are facing the challenges of mate wareware. Mirumiru shines a light on these experiences, encouraging important conversations with loved ones and offering a uniquely Māori perspective on dementia.

We need your help to bring this heartfelt story to life by DONATING to our CROWDFUNDING campaign. Our campaign is designed to raise the additional finance required to finish the film. Every bit helps us spark important conversations and share a uniquely Māori perspective. We really appreciate any support you can give.
