I recommend putting on subtitles if you're not familiar with the language / culture like I am. I do subtitles anyway because I'm kind of a nerd about linguistics and need to know how absolutely everything is spelled because it helps me to say it right out loud.

The absolute exquisite care on display, I can't get over how beautiful it is...

I understand that this could mean I am in a classroom with Non-Māori. but at least I am at a distance and don't have to physically be in their presence. so there is a level of safety for me here. I can detach if I need to. I can use the mute button if I need to. Also as a full-time caregiver for my mother, there aren't many options to learn Reo Māori from a distance.
