With Anzac Day just days away, this acclaimed short offers a powerful moment of reflection.
In ‘Tama Tū’, director Taika Waititi captures a quiet moment shared by six soldiers of the 28th (Māori) Battalion. Waiting in the ruins of wartime Italy, the young men fill the silence with jokes and gentle teasing. Beneath the humour lies something deeper — a bond shaped by friendship, culture, and the knowledge of what awaits when night falls.
