NZ On Air 30th Birthday - Tagata Pasifika

Web (Full Length) – 2019

Tagata Pasifika was more than just a television programme for us — it was representation, it was seeing ourselves on-screen...
– Oscar Kightley
We come from an oratory background, great storytellers...but we never saw that on our screens, so it was really important for us to record that.
– Producer Stephen Stehlin talks about the show
You see the legacy of Tagata Pasifika in every 'brown' show that's come out since ... I think Tagata Pasifika was the spark.
– Oscar Kightley on the importance of Tagata Pasifika in New Zealand
