	Description:		A new intimate two-part documentary delves into the transformative journeys of three wahine Maori as they prepare to leave prison and begin the process of rebuilding their lives, while addressing the past. In Motuhaketanga: Wahine Maori, Incarceration and Life Outside the Wire we follow the three wahine at the centre of the story, Arohatonu, Tristin, and Lesley, both inside the wire, as they prepare for release and unpack the traumas that landed them there in the first place; and outside the wire as they navigate the realities of life post-prison: probation check-ins, job hunting, broken trust, child reunifications, and quiet moments of doubt and pride. Producer/Director Kathleen Mantel, of Black Iris Productions says the documentary is a testament to the strength and resilience of wahine Maori.
