Many of the people involved in this movie were direct descendants of the survivors including Director Michael Jonathan, writer Tim Worrall and actor Temeura Morrison. The cast also includes the legendary Cliff Curtis, Miriam Smith and Jason Flemyng. KA WHAWHAI TONU is releasing in cinemas following its Australian premiere at the recent Sydney Film Festival.
