Asia Dynamic - Two Sisters
1997 Television
- Documentary
Future National Party MP Melissa Lee presents this documentary about two Chinese Kiwi sisters reminiscing about their childhood. Wailin Elliott and sister Eva Ng return to their old family home in Newmarket, Auckland, and share memories about their strict father, working in his fruit shop, and the pain of losing their mother. The pair recall the racism they encountered — "which shamed us dreadfully" — and open a chest of Western and Chinese clothing belonging to their mum. The documentary was made for series Asia Dynamic, which later became Asia Downunder.
