They should get a Maori speaker to do their translations and not just join words out of the dictionary. Ata whenua might mean "land-shadow" but they probably want an expression like "whenua ō ngā ataata" (land of shadows) or Whenua Pōuri (dark land - Edwardson Sound is Moana Whenua Pōuri) depending on what they mean.The Maori for Fiordland isTe Rua ō te Moko.
Beautiful footage. I've seen a version of this with a few samples of the music being played and have been trying to find out for the longest time what song was playing with baritone sax in it.
Unfortunately there has not been a commercial release of the soundtrack yet. However, I can tell you it is all original music composed by Murray Burns.

Anyone coming to New Zealand must see this movie!
It made my eye water the first time I saw it and can nly go part of the way to showing you just what is so special about my country.
Thank god we have people like Kim Hollows with the foresight to take on such a project! Well do Kim!
