What a beautiful doco! I want to see more
Awesome I love horses
This is not a year ago. Those kid's would be young adults by now. I knew these beautiful kids when I lived in nz like over 15 years ago.
Why do I find this great family so interesting, part 5 please
Pita ended up having an affair with the producers wife and moved to Germany. His kids and Colleen are still in Hawkes Bay but are estranged from him.
Makes you question weather his whole outlook was a sham for tv
@@user-gj2oz3qj6g how do you know about this ?
This children are amazing confidence intelligence in their own childish ways god bless you an your family amen🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good to see yous again beautiful family ❤❤❤❤
Wow so powerful, loved hearing their stories and great filming of course
🤩🤩🤩
Your documentry is highly appreciated and motivated for me
2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 after viewing, the lifestyle of people, living a parallel self sufficient culture
in other parts of the world 🌎 yours is by far the most colourful. The wife visually is Maori. The husband
visually Karena / Kavanagh. Good on you. Karena/Kavanagh. Bless you. Arohanui ❤...😊
Wish the best for the karena whanau..peter you are a awsome roll model..coleen you are tough as nails..and tamariki yous are magic.be safe
No, don't become the mean one, don't show the bad side. You are the light, the clear path,the way. You Dont realise the difference your making, and people can see this, God sees you x
This is verrh hard for me to watch koz my last name is karena n my whanau didn't deserve what they went through n how could someone burn there whare down n leave them homeless almost???
He seems like a good dad and husband hes bringing hes kids up right
Keep strong for your future and family good luck thinking of your family
I’m here like always thanks 😊
I missed a lot of the context of this story. All I saw was horses stolen and a step dad speaking ill towards his sons family as their house is burnt down to ashes. God bless them.
Try watching part 3,2 and 1. In that order😀
What a amazing beautiful story, purely about kiwis...& the harshness of family & father to son relationship, which I have experienced in my own life..unfortunately my children & I don't have any communication with..being adopted in to an English family as a baby & being of maori background was a clash of cultures with my family that raised me!! Never really felling a sense of belonging or having my own identity of who I am in this world..& that's something I have had to struggle with to this very day..
I would watch a movie based on the life of this father and his life , he really is so wise and honorable and has the most interesting story and perspectives.
Like the stolen horses and burnt down house and evil step father are plot points enough he has a movie of a life ✨
He left the family n hooked up with a German girl. He’s in Germany now.
@@user-gj2oz3qj6g jealous much
Agree, alot father's can learn from listening to Peter's philosophy on life, living the life he & wife chose & raising a young family with skills they will have for life, great doco
@@user-gj2oz3qj6g how do you know that?
_mantep._
I didn't get the whole story either ,the burnt house , the stepfather, whose land it was..etc...but man.. there was some heavy shit said in this...don't know when or where in Aotearoa this is happening but good luck.. ✌peace
It's bullshit, Peter burnt the house down. The land doesn't belong to Peter, it's Maori land, Peter is white and the middle son of the second marriage of his mother, he's not entitled to be steward of the land. It wasn't his right to demand what wasn't his. His step-father gave him free rent
@@CatherineKarena His step-father treated him like shit, entitled or not you sound as colonised as the step-father. Before pakeha came to our country there was no such thing as rent and if its Maori Customary Land, why are these Maori paying rent. The point is the step father kicked out his wifes son and whānau because he can. Many Maori before the event of Pakeha looked after whānau that you say aren't entitled, and gave them whenua because they saw they added value to the whānau, hapū and iwi like Peter and his whānau.
Mean spirited Karena branch.
@@CatherineKarena how did he end up with this passion for horses and passion for the whenua? Step daDDY WERO would of taught and passed on some of his knowledge to his step son i guessing, being ex policeman or lawyer or whatever he was or is. Something would have planted the seed in Peter hinengaro. but its allgood aye cos Wero gave his step son free rent lol.
Really???!! How do you know this? That is such a major bummer to hear!!@@seagypsy_
@@seagypsy_ wow jealous much
awesome way to bring up your tamariki bloody awesome BUT theres procedures and protocols that everyone ( even land owners ) must standby for oddvious safety reasons firsr being a hunting block and all. I know your dad Wero Tero, His a prick. Ive been out there in Te Koau, ive stayed in the hut while my Dad my brother my kuzi and myself put in 3 huts just infront of the old hut. I absolutely loved it out there and hardout love the way you have raised your whanau. I could never do what you and your kids done and i wish i was raised in the bush. But Safety is priority in my books. Tu
im harti and a staunch spec o te hapu o Ngati Hinemanu.
Love and respect
And Peters Wife to i have to add arohamai.
Do they have a utube channel?
KIA KAHA!!!!!WHANAU our thoughts n preys be with you all god will make somthing good happen much loe whanau..
I am excited knowing one day I have the potential to be in that paradise made of God. Since childhood, I always look up to this beautiful country. I would always imagine what really new Zealand looks like as I always see it's stunning beauty through commercials in television. This little kids life in this video reminds me of our days with my grandparents❤. New Zealand government always look after the wellbeing of their people and that is something to look up to for anyone who dreamed to be there and planning for relocation. ❤❤ See you soon NZ😊
Not true, this country is ruined
what year this film made?
2009
The step-father has been done over by colonisation and doesn't even know it. This man his wife his children and way are life are the opposite of colonisation, beautiful.
Do you know them personally do you? Ehh, it’s media doing what media does best!
I just read 48 laws of power and stumbling across this is very interesting. The step dad is very much in the the game of power and his step son is the one solid under dog in his life out of the players the father might be against that can take that away from him very quickly if he plays his cards right.
🤣🤣🤣 for the 48 laws of power to be used in comparison in this instance, you would need to actually watch the step father fully, which we don’t get. We only get snippets of him. Which is what the producer wanted to manipulate the audience😆
Ehh Pita hooked up with the producer, got her pregnant and ran to Germany with her. He was squatting in the house THE WHOLE TIME!!
He left his kids for another women. So all that talk of him being deserving of his wife was all kaka
Enjoying this serious ,keep em coming . NZ looking better than Oz to me , might migrate , have a slower life.
You would love it

Too cold for me .. 🌧❄🌬😄
Good luck and continued success
Good luck, great video
Great video, good luck and continued success
👍
The smile and eyes of a broken man.
This man is far from broken if he was broken he'd be an alcoholic, drug addict or worse like his step-father.
@@otearoaAfter the film was made he cheated on his wife with a young German woman of which she fell pregnant and he ran off left his wife and all the children.
@@seagypsy_ Life can be like that, but whose judging.
@@seagypsy_ wow again Jealous much
@@user-yt7ml1hx7p No not jealous 🤦♀️ Am related to them.
I am Maori and I'm glad some of the elder Maori are passing. Some of them we're mean and nasty people as you can see here.
Yes there was that generation that were nasty and had that knowledge stolen from them. I too a Maori was disciplined the hard way as a child. Am thankful to my kuia and those who raised us up with a discipline mind and attitude.
Praise Jesus my friends, I saw the episode where you lost your home etc a very sad state of affairs especially what was behind it all, may our Lord Jesus bless you and whanau a 1000 fold, :) in Jesus Name
😍
😂😅🤣 old man is so bitter his heart is withered. Demands control with no respect. Empty. Step son is loved. Doesn't need to be near his mother's husband.
🤠🏇🏇🏇🤠✌️
I have NOTHING against individuals choosing to live off the grid as their permanent lifestyle BUT I'm sorry I do not support this family choosing to force this restricted poverty on their children. People can raise their family the way they choose but this is unacceptable . Peter is a just a handsome BUM pumping all those babies inside his wife back to back with NO steady INCOME and 100% dependant on those horses for EVERYTHING .. all while teaching his children that same code of ethic .. Its not right .
Not gonna lie I always thought this too
Agree 👍
Finally Someone Bold Enough To Say This Aloud . Thank You .Couldnt Agree More . There Is No Way I Would Force This On My Kids To Be Raised With No Economic Standards . Especially My Boys . This Is Very Important Because Children Learn What They Live And Then Live What They've Learned . I Definitely Wouldnt Want My Sons To Think This Is The Best Way To Survive .
If hes getting evicted and can hardly feed those kids I feel just as bad for the horses too
I actually do live off the grid alone and completely agree with this statement 100% . It's not fair to children .
