Manaiakalani Film Festival - 2020

 

 

Finally the manaiakalani film festival is back for 2020!

There were only a few movies this year due to the messy year we've had with covid happening and all the lockdowns we have been through. But it was really fun seeing we could still do our festival :) 

There were two movies from our school that I really enjoyed this year :)

Room 678's movie 'Level 2 BBQ' was my personal favorite because of the humor and great acting from all of our year 6's :) I also really liked Room 1's movie 'A day in the life' ! The amount of fun everyone was having and the wonderful jokes and humor in the movie is what I liked the best.

Honestly the hoyts cinema was a wonderful experience! I noticed the movie theatre had changed alot :/ But besides all that it was pretty cool. The movie theatre seemed much more larger and everything looked much more spaced out :) Alot of schools were there too, they were really nice and waved at us :) 

Overall I really loved the movies this year :) and i'm happy it got put up since I wont be able to see any of our movies in 2021 :') i'll be off to college!

Loved the movies you teachers brought for us to see this year!

Hope to see the great mahi in 2021.

Thanks!

Nelson Mandela - Writing

 Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was a civil rights activist born 1918 in a small village of the thembu kingdom. He was famous for demolishing apartheid in south africa. 

In Mandela’s time, white south africans had taken over the villages he had stayed in, colonising the land and taking everything for them. He had also seen how unfair colored people were compared to the white population in his country. From the year 1948, successful laws in south africa were made for these people to be segregated, meaning seperated from each other. This was called apartheid.

Nelson knew he had to make a change for his country. With his plan to change the law and give rights to his people, Mandela reached out and spoke about ending apartheid. During this process he was taken to prison many times when then in 1964 he was sent to prison for life. Nelson delievered an amazing speech in the courtroom about how he dreamed of a society where his people would be freed and how he wished for everyone to have equal opportunities. While Mandela was in prison, many south african people continued to protest about ending apartheid. Nelson had spent 27 years in prison, and at the age of 71 he was given his freedom.

The effect of Nelson's protest had taken a massive impact on the rest of south africa after he had been taken out of prison. Alot of people had taken notice of apartheid and protested about it for weeks. In 1994 Mandela had been elected as the first black president for his country and ended apartheid once and for all.

Overall this without Mandela, South Africa wouldn’t be where it is today.

 The story ‘Railroad To Freedom’ talked about slavery in america, and also talked about the two people that helped the most and saved the african american slaves. The biggest problem in this story was about how the black people were being getting kidnapped and forced into slavery. Harriet (Formally known as Araminta) saved slaves by helping them escape, and there was also a man called Thomas Garret who made a safehouse for the slaves. All slavery ended once Abraham Lincoln came in for president and abolished anything to do with the topic in 1865.
