Ahi Wānanga (the fires of discussion) is a six-part web series exploring what identity, belonging and resilience is to 12 young people from Aotearoa’s Muslim and Māori communities. Each episode features a pair of Māori and Muslim young people with a shared passion in poetry, psychology, photography, football, art or music. Despite coming from different cultures, they’ve found connection in their differences and similarities.

The series was directed by Rouzie Hassanova and Jessica Sanderson.
