Curiosity is at the forefront of actor Ben Mitchell - more widely known as Dr TK Samuels - on Shortland Street’s mind when it comes to his Māori identity.
Mitchell is one of nine speakers at M9 Aotearoa, at the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre in Auckland on November 16. The annual event showcases Māori talent and this year features nine actors, writers and comedians.
It will be a two-hour extravaganza of powerful Māori voices who have come together for a very special evening, presenting nine very different stories chosen to inspire, empower and entertain, featuring nine renowned Māori actors sharing their stories to inspire, inform, and empower.
