A Thousand Apologies

Television, 2008

A Thousand Apologies takes joy in lampooning everyday racism. The show was the brainchild of the Thousand Apologies Collective, a group of Auckland based Asian/Kiwi filmmakers which included directors Roseanne Liang,  Shuchi Kothari and Serina Pearson. The six episodes have a classic sketch show format — with sight gags and song parodies, in-between longer character based sketches. Its broader aim is to show Asian/Kiwis as three dimensional-people, rather than the stereotyped roles so often assigned to them on television.
