Synopsis

'Naked Samoan' Oscar Kightley, and Māori radio/TV personality Nathan Rarere use DNA technology to trace their families' ancestry. We learn their forebears originated in Taiwan before migrating to the Pacific via Vanuatu (and the Cook Islands, for those travelling on to Aotearoa). On the DNA trail we meet locals and observe remarkable cultural similarities - even in Taiwan, where the indigenous people look Polynesian, and provide a haka-like welcome. In 2007 the film won top honours at the International Oceania Documentary Film Festival in Tahiti.
