TVNZ documentary No Māori Allowed revisits Pukekohe's history of segregation

Producer Reikura Kahi knows No Māori Allowed will be confronting for many viewers but believes it is a story that needs telling.

The documentary turns the spotlight on Pukekohe and the South Auckland town’s history of racism and segregation.

It reveals that from 1920 until the early 1960s, Māori were barred from public toilets, segregated at the cinema and swimming baths, refused alcohol, haircuts and taxi rides, forced to stand for white bus passengers and barred from schools.
