MY FIRST WHARE

MY FIRST WHARE RE: NEWS

A Re: News series, sponsored by Westpac, shot and produced by us.

The series is a timely look at how financial education through a Māori lens has changed the lives of 5 whānau, to help them buy their first homes. The series moves through themes of intergenerational living, overcoming debt, shared equity and what solidifying roots has enabled for these families.

Guided and hosted by Tamati Rimene-Sproat - this project has been a labour of love. Spanning 2 years, 3 cities, 6 whānau, and meticulous focus to reflect systemic challenges and the bravery it takes to rewrite the script. We love seeing these whānau + iwi getting their flowers.

Watch the full series on TVNZ+ and Re: News platforms.
