They form an unlikely bond\, and as they confront past traumas and demons\, their journey becomes a path to healing and reconciliation\, experienced through Matariki. The film won the People’s Choice Award at the Māoriland Film Festival in 2025\, possibly helped by its high production values; director Kath Akuhata-Brown said that the film benefited indirectly from the recent writers and actors strikes in America. “With several overseas film productions on hold here\, their crack crews were suddenly available\, and keen to throw their expertise at Kōka.” (Radio NZ). Roadshow. 								\n				\n									\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n									N.Z.\, 2025\, 107 min.
