Meet the Prick is a documentary film about Tame Iti. Uncompromising, ambitious, he is Tuhoe first, Maori second and would claim Aotearoa as his country ahead of New Zealand. ‘Meet the Prick’ picks up a phrase used by both sides in a clash between Iti and a conservative politician.
Tame Iti in an unique award winning documentary responds to the man behind the camera-acclaimed filmmaker from former Czechoslovakia Ilja Ruppeldt-with a series of monologues. But the story is about far more than one Maori psyche. It’s about a clash of cultures as seen from Iti’s unique point of view as a Tuhoe, one of the ‘children of the mist’. |
