Hiding Behind the Green Screen

New Zealand 2010 / 48min.
Director Paora Joseph.

This innovative, experimental and creative documentary seeks to bring awareness of the marijuana culture of New Zealand’s youth population.

4 indigenous youths are given the opportunity to be mentored by two accomplished Maori musicians. They embark on a journey to the courthouse where the Judge, musicians and young men meet for the first time. Parihaka, a Maori village famous for passive resistance, provides a spiritual platform to share the trauma of the past and transform painful memories into music.
