Synopsis

Shirley Horrocks' feature documentary profiles the life, work and influence of writer Albert Wendt. The documentary accompanies the writer to various locations in the Pacific and addresses his upbringing in Samoa, his education in New Zealand and his work as writer and teacher. He discusses the contemporary explosion of Pacific arts. "I belong to Oceania - or, at least, I am rooted in a fertile part of it and it nourishes my spirit, helps to define me, and feeds my imagination."
