흥미로운 사실

Patu! is a 1983 New Zealand documentary film directed by Merata Mita about the controversial 1981 Springbok tour. It follows the inner workings of the campaign against the tour, and captures scenes of violent conflict between police and protesters. It is a significant work of activist and indigenous filmmaking, and of New Zealand filmmaking in general.

Production history

In Wellington thirteen film makers, independent of Mita, coalesced around Vanguard Films and some also filmed in other parts of the country. This was our film, our "fight for egalitarianism." "We begged and borrowed to document our taonga fight, we never saw a penny." All that material forms a large part of Patu.

The editing process lasted two years, complicated by the various types of film stock used, the refusal of television networks to lend footage, and the need to protect the negatives from being seized by police as evidence. Mita complained of police harassment as they regularly visited her house on this pretence.
