What is a radio documentary? A radio documentary examines a specific issue or kaupapa and explores a range of views on the topic in a thoughtful, well researched and
insightful manner. A documentary uses sound and sound effects to enhance the content and to engage and captivate listeners.
Examples of radio documentaries include the ‘Te Reo o Nga Mareikura’ series which explores the concept of Maori women speaking on the
marae, from a Ngati Porou and Whanau a Apanui perspective where this practice was a given for women of high birth and rank to opposing
views from iwi like Te Arawa. The series also explores the relevance of this practice today given that fewer men are speaking on the paepae.
“Kaitiaki- In Our Hands” is the theme of this year’s Nati Awards. The concept of ‘guardianship’ can be looked at from a range of perspectives
eg. You are a future guardian of our land, our rivers, our foreshore and seabed, our taonga, our marae, our tikanga, our whakapapa, our reo.
Choose a topic you are passionate about and consider the role of guardianship you see yourself fulfilling in the future.
