Film maker Jade Jackson was thirty when she first learned of the Dawn Raids.
For the Samoan-Palangi woman, it was confusing and upsetting to never have learned about such a significant and traumatic part of her community's history.
But that motivated her to take action, and the recent film school graduate had the perfect outlet. She's now released the short film, Raids, which took her back to her home town of Porirua and into a moment in history that left deep scars on the psyche of her community.
Jade talks to Kathryn about her leap of faith into film school, her motive behind Raids, and being a proud Samoan-Palagi wahine.
