Miriam Margolyes experiences powerful Maori welcome during New Zealand documentary shoot

Miriam Margolyes is filming a two-part documentary series in New Zealand, where she was moved by a Maori welcome ceremony. She found the haka performed by students at a Maori-language school particularly impactful. Margolyes, known for her outspoken views, criticized a proposed change to the Treaty bill by MP David Seymour. She expressed her belief in the independence of Australia and New Zealand from the Commonwealth. Traveling in a campervan, Margolyes visits various locations, including a monastery and the site of the Christchurch mosque shootings. She aims to promote understanding and dialogue about different cultures and beliefs through her documentary work.
