In this episode of Mind The Mic, Shubz sits down with Mike Jonathan, a proud Māori man born and bred in Taumarunui, who has just released his first feature film, “Ka Whawhai Tonu.” This groundbreaking film features renowned actors Temuera Morrison and Cliff Curtis, along with many rising Māori talents, offering a powerful narrative by Māori, for Māori, and for indigenous people worldwide.
Mike shares his journey from a young boy inspired by a movie at 8-9 years old to a passionate filmmaker with over 30 years in the industry. He discusses his extensive career, including his work with Te Karere, Fair Go, and more. Mike also delves into his upbringing, his enduring passion for filmmaking, and his vision for a future where Māori no longer have to fight.
Tune in for an epic conversation filled with insights and inspiration. And a note from host Shubz—please forgive any brain fog, as he was fasting and hadn’t eaten in a few days!
