FILM INFORMATION

HUA PARAKORE - LIVING INDIGENOUS FOOD SOVEREIGNTY (8 mins)
Hua Parakore was established in Aotearoa New Zealand by Te Waka Kai Ora, the National Māori Organics Authority. It provides a framework using Indigenous values – Māori principles – for producing natural food without chemical inputs or GMO. It also encapsulates the Māori worldview in its approach to how food growers are verified as Hua Parakore, with principles that require practitioners to deeply consider such things as their connection with the land, its energy, the many species living on it, and their community. This documentary provides an insight into Hua Parakore from the perspective of one of its most knowledgeable practitioners – Dr. Jessica Hutchings was one of the researchers who helped develop the framework.

ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY: TOGETHER WE GROW (40 mins)
TOGETHER WE GROW is a 40-minute documentary telling the story of Common Unity - a thriving hub helping to build resilience into its local community by growing, sewing, repairing, sharing - you name it.

Too many of our communities, here and around the world, are facing housing crises, food insecurity, social Isolation, and more. In addition, the multiple impacts of the pandemic and climate change are current and ongoing. How can we most effectively confront these challenges, and help our communities thrive in an economic system that leaves many feeling trapped in poverty?

Common Unity founder Julia Milne and her team have created a completely shareable model for developing strong, connected, resilient communities - a model that could be put in place across thousands of communities in Aotearoa and millions of communities across the world. They’ve proven it can be done, this film was made to help them share the story!
