About Unreel

Taking place in the colourful Hīnaki Hotel & Gaming Lounge, Unreel tells a compelling story of a community affected by gambling.

Featuring songs and dances by Cherry and Bells, the larger-than-life launch of the very first A.I. pokie machine, and the grand re-opening of the refurbished Hīnaki Hotel - it's shaping up to be quite the party.

Plenty of people have made it... hosts from the local radio station, representatives from Inferno Entertainment, staff with their own experiences of gambling - and then there’s Laylah, who is just having a little look...

Commissioned by Ora Toa Mauri Ora Kaupapa Māori Addiction Services (Te Runanga o Toa Rangatira), Unreel is the result of a collaborative project facilitated by Te Rākau Hua o Te Wao Tapu.
