The Warehouse’s long-lost Kiwi mascot has returned in this ad campaign designed to unfold more like a drama series rather than a commercial.

Whales, Rats & Kauri

Directors: Mike Jonathan and Kim Webby

A young man learns the sacred rites of Māori whale harvests. But learning from Dad is as tough as the gruelling harvests for bone and oil that revive a traditional way of life.

Available to watch on RNZ.
