HOT AIR on Maori TV
tonight.
HOT AIR, the politics of

Maori TV.
Last week the Listener gave this feature
documentary four stars. Reviewers have described it as

Filmmakers Alister Barry and Abi King-Jones last worked

climate conference in Paris, can we expect our politicians
to implement real change, or just more hot air?
