Ruamata: It's More Than Hockey (the first documentary ever to be entirely in Te Reo Māori) was a remarkable story of pride, passion, and determination capturing the journey of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ruamata's rise to the upper echelons of hockey in Aotearoa, as they became the first Māori immersion school in a century to compete in the prestigious Rankin Cup.
It was the subject of an RNZ online series and was nominated for Best Documentary Series and won Best Māori Programme at the New Zealand TV Awards.
Ruamata Series Two is back, and this season it's definitely more than hockey. The hockey players are taking their skills and language further afield to South Africa.
Ruamata 2 is released at 5pm on Monday on www.rnz.co.nz
Series Producer Kereama Wright talks to Mihi.
