Moana Waiwai

This film follows the FreeSwim journey of wahine (woman) Ally Davey as she takes on 70km of open ocean around the stunning Coromandel coastline over three days to bring awareness to the protection of New Zealand’s oceans. It does more than encapsulate stunning vistas and highlight the extraordinary New Zealand environment, but inspires people to be aware of the natural beauty that surrounds them and to protect it before it is too late. It’s an inspirational film, not an activist film.

My take

A meditative journey into human resilience and environmental stewardship. Watch a woman push her limits across open ocean while discovering why protecting our planet matters—intimate, breathtaking, and quietly powerful.
