Overview

NZ On Screen's Chinese in New Zealand Collection contains many pearls — from a run of impressive documentaries, to comedies and dramas that skewer stereotypes and explore relationships across cultures. Identity, family, colliding values and 19th century goldminers all make appearances, but they're only part of a far bigger story. Plus check out the backgrounder by former Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon.
