Documentary Screening – Twelve Days 1769

The convergence of Māori and European cultures at Te Whanganui-o-Hei/Mercury Bay in 1769 stands as a pivotal gathering point that embodies the essence of our diverse and multicultural nation’s inception.

Reflecting on a span of twelve remarkable days in November 1769, we delve into an unparalleled narrative when James Cook and the crew of the Endeavour embarked on an epochal encounter with Ngāti Hei. This historic and groundbreaking interaction served as a bridge between two distinct civilizations, marking a crucial juncture in our shared history.

Join us for an immersive account of this transformative event. Tickets are available for $10.00 each and can be conveniently booked either online or in person at the Mercury Twin Cinemas. This is an opportunity to explore the intersection of cultures, understand our roots, and celebrate the rich tapestry of our multicultural heritage.
