Mike McRoberts joined Lee & Tammy on George Breakfast for an important korero about reo Māori and his personal journey with the language in his new documentary 'Kia Ora, Good Evening'.

'Kia Ora, Good Evening' follows Mike's journey as he attempts to reclaim a taonga that was lost to his whānau a generation ago - the ability to speak te reo Māori. Mike's story is one of language loss, disconnection, trauma, reconnection and re-awakening. In this deeply personal documentary, we see Mike McRoberts and his whānau as we've never seen them before - unearthing the powerful story of connection, and what it means to be Māori in contemporary Aotearoa.
