Made in Taiwan

In this documentary 'Made in Taiwan' Oscar Kightley, and Māori radio/TV personality Nathan Rarere use DNA technology to trace their families' ancestry. They discover that their forebears originated in Taiwan before migrating to the Pacific islands: Vanuatu (and the Cook Islands, for those going on to Aotearoa). On the DNA trail they meet locals and find striking cultural similarities — even in Taiwan, where the indigenous people look Polynesian, they even provided a haka-like welcome. The film won top honours at the International Oceania Documentary Film Festival in Tahiti.
