Mike Tavioni is a carver, poet, mentor, activist, entrepreneur and maverick and his story is told in a new documentary that's just premiered at the Maoriland Film Festival.

The film maker behind his story is Glenda Tuaine. 

Taonga: An Artist Activist is her first ever film. Both Glenda and Mike talk to Karyn about the story and the work that went in to documenting Mike's incredible life.
