This episode of a six-part historical documentary series explores the mix of cultures that NZ has become. A Chinese family speaks of the racism they experienced, from the poll tax of the 1890s to their relative isolation - despite living in downtown Wellington. Artist Trevor Moffat describes his father's "heavy silent disapproval" at his artwork. He went on receive acclaim for paintings that explore themes of NZ identity. Finally, mixed marriages between Māori and Pākehā shed some light on biculturalism.
