Mauri is a powerful documentary film that invites us into the living world of Māori healing. Guided by elders and lineage holders, the film weaves land, language, and ceremony into a story of intergenerational care and ancestral remembering. Filmed in Aotearoa, Mauri honors the sacred ways that continue — even in the wake of colonization — and offers a gentle, profound glimpse into the resilience of cultural memory and connection.

Mauri is a cinematic invitation into the healing traditions of Aotearoa, a journey carried by Māori healers, elders, and knowledge keepers who tend to intergenerational wounds through land, language, and ceremony.
