Kawa, also known as Nights in the Gardens of Spain, is about a 40-something man confronting his double life, and the impact that his coming out as gay has on his wife, kids, and whānau. A key change was turning the book’s Pākehā protagonist into a successful Māori businessman (Calvin Tuteao). It screened on TV One on 23 January 2010 and at festivals internationally.
This event is a collaboration between Rotorua Library and Rainbow Rotorua.
