Meeta Biography

Mita worked on her first documentary in 1977, helping a Pākehā filmmaker organize interviews with Māori people. But she soon began to grow disenchanted at Māori misrepresentation on film, and at how Māori seemed to be employed only to liase with Māori communities for white filmmakers.In May 1978 Mita got a telephone call telling her "to get a film crew up to Bastion Point". Mita arrived just in time to film police removing Ngāti Whatua protestors from the site. Lack of funds meant that Bastion Point: Day 507 (co-directed with Gerd Pohlmann and Leon Narbey) would take another two years to complete. She talks about the impact Bastion Point made on her in this episode of Kete Aronui.Mita went on to co-direct films with Pohlmann about the trade union movement (The Hammer and the Anvil) and the Hokianga Catholic Māori community (Karanga Hokianga Ki O Tamariki). Both films were made at Auckland co-op Alternative Cinema. The Bridge (1982) chronicles the longrunning Mangere Bridge industrial dispute. She also collaborated with Martyn Sanderson on cross-cultural documentary Keskidee Aroha.

In 1980 Mita began an "often bitter and demoralising" tenure as a researcher, reporter and then presenter at Māori TV news show Koha. Mita was disappointed to be told that the programme was aimed at a majority viewing - i.e. white - audience, and that Māori language content should not exceed two per cent.
