The series looks at storytellers in Canada and other countries. These two episodes look at the huge resurgence in Maori film and how it has preserved language and culture, as against predictions that their languages would be gone by now. Part Two follows Barry Barclay, a very well known Maori film maker, to England and he talks bout some of the challenges he has faced.
