Iconic Maori activist, artist, and performer Tame Iti shares his extraordinary life, defined by resistance, resilience, and rangatiratanga.

Mana. It's a big word. But what is it? Are you born with it, can you earn it, can it be taken away?

For more than five decades, Tame Iti has stood at the heart of Aotearoa's struggle for indigenous rights. From land marches to performance art, police raids to prison cells, his voice has challenged New Zealand to reckon with its colonial legacy. Once branded as a dangerous and extreme activist, now hailed as a national treasure, Tame has lived the contradictions and realities of standing with mana motuhake in a modern world.

After being silenced from speaking te reo Maori as a child, Tame went on to champion its revitalization. He discovered the power of protest and what it means to live with mana in a world that often tries to strip it away.

This is his korero of the road he walked and the people who joined him. The comrades, the supporters, and the ones who tried to take him out.

Mana is the story of a man who has never stopped challenging the status quo. It cements Tame's place as one of Aotearoa's most iconic figures.
