DAWN RAID: THE APOLOGY (MY NEW ZEALAND STORY)

When COVID-19 lockdown hits Aotearoa in 2020, Jeremy and his whānau retreat to his grandparents’ quiet farm near Invercargill. And while spending more time with his grandmother, Jeremy discovers she has an intriguing past.

Fifty years after the dawn raids of the 1970s, Sofia Savea’s stories of activism and Polynesian Panther life blaze into reality for Jeremy and awaken a sense of purpose in him that leads to his own unexpected journey. Jeremy begins to see how much words and actions mean—not just to his gran—but to an entire generation who never stopped waiting to be heard ... and who deserve an apology.
