This is a good news story on many levels. Wonderful recognition for a song from Aotearoa and it seems Hollywood went about acquiring rights to use 'Pō Atarua' in Project Hail Mary in the appropriate manner. And for the importance of digitising our cultural assets where possible. That has ensured that this song, its performers (the Turakina Māori Girls Choir) and the copyright holders have been properly recognised and rewarded. https://thespinoff.co.nz/pop-culture/26-03-2026/how-po-atarau-made-it-all-the-way-to-ryan-goslings-project-hail-mary
