Thank you Wattie and family for sharing this fascinating journey. So much emotion So much Love May the force be with you

Top documentary thank you. Realness 💯

One of my good friends, ended up in jail in his teens. We 40 now and he’s been in and out of jail for the last 20+ years. I caught up with him over 10 years ago, I could see he didn’t like the freedom he had and knew he was gunna end up back inside and he did and still there today. Gets out and the longest he’s lasted is 2 months. We can’t help him until he’s ready.

Turn the tv off bro , brothers bringing up the trauma and all you care about is the tv

My Dads older brother Uncle Wattie. Solid my fam love yous ❤

Stay strong Wattie, dont go back to the life man, your family needs you, and your kids need the role model that you never had brother, time for you to make good memories to get rid of the bad ones my friend. From Britain, stay safe and keep smiling 🫶

Kia kaha Wattie. I am a whanaunga from Morrinsville. Seeing you at Nana Maggie's grave and looking at some of the old photos, I saw whānau that I knew. Nana Cowboy, Uncle Smokey. I haven't seen Aunty Loretta in a while. It was good to see your sister Vera. It's been years. Keep strong, cousin. You've got Mike there to support you, but most importantly, your whānau. Take care and God Bless ❤

"Im guna waste the person that gives you a patch" ♥️ my dad said something along those lines to me 18 years ago .Didn't understand him then,glad I listened and now I know what he means..

All the best Wattie. Stay close with your whanau and friends, theyll help you through.

Good on you wattie keep up your positiveness .you keep being there for your son

I’m sure Wattie will become an uplifting citizen to this country and do only good in society

All the very Best Wattie for your future. Megan is my sister and her and Mike are amazing people with huge capacity to Love and support you. Keep doing one small healing step at a time and it will add up. God bless you ♥️

Thank you for bringing up to the surface all our traumas...individual and collective...and thank you for sharing with the world Wattie...just what we all need. You CAN do it...we CAN do it...abundant Love and Light to you and Whanau...Sand

You got this Wattie stay safe out there

Love to this man and his whanau

Watching this video really made me think about my two sons i was never nere for them much i was always in jail now im out and doing good ill go see them . I just want to say thank you for sharing your story. I haven't done as much jail as you but i know being away takes its toll. 🙏

Awesome work from Wattie and Anthony! Well done lads.

Wow! This is so sad but also uplifting knowing Wattie is trying to change despite what he has been through. So nice that he is reconnecting with his whanau. The abusers ruin lives just for their self gratification; the damage lasts for a lifetime. Kia Kaha Wattie, stay free.

It took me, an English migrant, many years to learn not to judge Māori by the way they looked, but by the way they acted. And I invariably found a good person hidden behind the rough exterior.

Alot to absorb brother, one day at a time. First thing is learning to be kind in a strange environment. You will get there brother, love more, hate less 🙏🏽

Compelling and extremely insightful, well worth watching. great work all over

Your the man brother..Love the guidance you wish upon your son

Powerful

One step at a time Wattie. I wish you well

All the best Wattie

What a remarkable story and even more so to capture too!

The judgement you serve,will be given to you 10 fold.

I met Wattie when I was a kid. He was our neighbour in Whanganui back in 2006/2007. He was a nice guy. Never did any wrong to us. Glad to see you trying to turn your life around 👌

bet he grew up fatherless like me. i'm still running from the world. bless my g

Beautiful story and big ups to Mike u the man!🫶🏽🫶🏽

All the best brother never too late

U look good man jail is peaceful compared to out here but for ur age u look good then some our young ones hope u turn it life around

Well done brother 👏👏👏

Jesus walk with you brother ❤

Faaar strong story brutha 2much your from the old skool

Thank you for your story

What a powerful story. Had tears seeing him reconnect with his family. What an amazing service who work with these men.

❤❤ Aroha to you and your whanau. Kia Kaha!! May our heavenly father guide you through your next journey. One Love One heart Matua x

How's it wattie, was with u 2012 unit7 your a strong man bro.

All the best with the rest of your time out of jail and hope you live the rest of your life being content 🖤

I am so glad that i got to watch Wattie's story. Wattie, you may not realize it, but your story will no doubt reach and touch a lot of people who have gone through similar childhood upbringing or those people that have had a good childhood; this story will give them a better appreciation/understanding towards others. I can see and hear that Wattie has a good heart and a great understanding about life. Wattie has so much to give and help others who are struggling with life on the outside. We need more men like you, to help our people in NZ. Mike Lloyd from the Te Pa organization, what a great man who goes out of his way to help everyone. Wattie all your whanau, are cool people. They are willing to unite and support each other. You can see the genuine aroha for one another. *To help better our mindset, is to rethink that our past life is not our future, the abuse whether it is(sexual, physical violence etc) that engulfed our bodies for many years and caused us to enrage our minds with anger and hatered towards others, will no longer entangle our hearts, because it is not ours to carry with us or to keep. Everyone one deserves to be truly happy, free and loved. Wattie, I truly wish you all the best in your future. Kia Kaha

I hear you Wattie, Kiora.

Lovable chap

❤ stay strong, you got this !

Hey brother my grandmother was an edwards to didnt get to know my family here to well i was taken to Australia when i was young ,im back now GOD BLESS you brother 🙏🏽

Tēnā koe e te Rangatira. Thank You for sharing Your journey, the good, bad and ugly. Seeing You navigate through historic intergenerational trauma to heal as best You can for You and Your Whānau, is admirable! YOZA OG ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Hey Wattie I met you briefly at wiri when I was a case manager.

TAKE HIM FOR HIS FIRST RIFF RIDE OG HE WILL HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING AFTER THAT

All the best wattie you got this

Quite an interesting story. Im glad youtube suggested this to me.

Yoza OG from the beazley whanau and gogetta$ 👍👍💙

I was in tw2 kaitoke with wattie all the best on your journey brother

Loves up brother Wattie good 2 C U out brother U got this love us brother

Tears to my eyes watching your story. All the best for your future coming, take it day by day.

Arohamai brother Wattie keep up the good stuff brother

Prayers for Wattie and whanau going forward🙏 As a leader he'll need to bear the burden of responsibility of leadership which is not easy for many people. But, I say to him, 'go up brother.' It won't be easy at first, but there's no other way. Join a supportive prayer group. A Catholic Traditional Latin Mass prayer group is good, if one is near by. Prayer is important in leadership. It binds the family together in the Fatherly love of God in Jesus Christ, the saviour of humanity. Go on up, from there. God love you brother. 🙏🙏🙏

Inspiring ❤

Hope the brothers still out n doing well ✌️

Malo Kia Ora There Michael, Met you @ my Aunty Mama's Tangi, Up North Of Hokianga Aka You her Brother... I'm the One With The Bol-Dee L😆L. Thank You Much Love & Praises For Bringing Her To Her Resting Place. HIGHLY APPRECIATED BROTHER

Solid my brother love from me and my lady keep on keeping on bruv.

😢 much love ❤

Chur brother. Much blessings and Aroha with respect to you 👍. 💯 Percent. The Only Brotherhood you Need is urself

So feel for Wattie and those who have not had the lives they deserved as a human being. A lot of the generations were not brought up in the expression of love as we weren't. Our parents did not know. And those who suffered also from sexual abuse, it was even harder. I may not have been the best mother but my kids knew that they were loved, hugged, and told that the were. Never allowed name calling in our family. We can just do our best and show our love, even if it is tough love at times. All the best Mr Wattie ❤

Met this man many moons ago I was his neighbour in Maxi. Brings back some crazy memories but I remember Wattie quite vividly, What happens in maxi stays in maxi. Good luck bro 😎

YF OG MOVEMENT WATTIE. POWERFUL PERSPECTIVE RANGATIRA. ALL THE BEST

Very kind eyes and a lovely attitude. Welcome home Wattie

respect to you wattie! wise words keeping your son away from the gang life,theirs more to life than a patch!

Love U uncle wattie

You got this brother 💯✊🏿

Much love wattie ❤❤

Love this guy man 😊

meke brother, keep moving forward!!!!!!

Kia kaha Matua you will always have whanau there to Tautoko

I feel for this man because he seems genuine and a nice man underneath it all. I'm from the other side of society, privileged u might say, but my parents drummed into me education. I feel like this man is a victim of bad parenting, no emphasis on education and comon decency. Am I wrong?

You can tell he's been through alot never jugde someone by there looks they could of been through alot and just want peace and space of there own

Watching family come together like that made me cry, too 😢 ❤

Manuia lou olaga uso❤

I'm proud I never chose that path, I don't suit it. I will always take responsibility for my occultism and my actions.

Thank you for your story Wattie...I too have a past that I must bring peace, open the door to my immediate family "you only you n your truth have shown me to speak the truth,strength n lu'v n light always Rusty one I hope we will meet and stand side bye side as brother's ...

Best wishes wattie

Staunch maori,Stay of the drugs n alcohol Gangsta dont feed the demons...they will get you in trouble..
