Voices of the Land: Ngā Reo o te Whenua (2014) is a documentary directed by Paul Wolffram that explores the revival of taonga pūoro, traditional Māori musical instruments. The film features performances by Richard Nunns and Horomona Horo, recorded in various natural settings across New Zealand, highlighting the intrinsic musicality of the natural world.
Richard Nunns, a renowned expert in taonga pūoro, dedicated his life to bringing these traditional instruments back into contemporary awareness. His collaborations, including those with the late Hirini Melbourne and Horomona Horo, have been pivotal in reinstating these musical traditions.
The film debuted at the 2014 Wellington Film Festival and serves as a tribute to Nunns' significant contributions to the revival of Māori musical heritage.
