Earlier in the year, Leo Koziol, host of "Korero Kiriata" on Radio Waatea, and Festival Director of the Wairoa Maori Film Festival, interviewed Huia Koziol, Chairperson of the festival and his mother. Here is the interview, made by phone to Nuhaka on 8 April, and broadcast on Radio Waatea in May, two days before she sadly passed from this world. Moe mai e kui, moe mai.
