Where Western Science Meets Indigenous Knowledge in the Antarctic Winter
In short: Explore how two experts navigate Antarctica's frozen wilderness to uncover a hidden world where modern science and mātauranga Māori converge.
The documentary follows Professor Rangi Matamua, an astronomer, and language expert Mataia Keepa as they journey into the Antarctic winter. Their mission is to bridge different ways of knowing—specifically, the intersection of Western scientific observation and traditional Māori knowledge (mātauranga Māori).
By exploring these two distinct frameworks, the film reveals a deeper understanding of the polar environment. It offers a unique perspective on how indigenous wisdom can complement contemporary research in one of Earth's most extreme climates.
