Director Carol Archie — who wrote Skin to Skin, the book that inspired this documentary — explores the lives of interracial and dual heritage families in Aotearoa. Through personal stories from couples and descendants, Archie brings to light historical, social, political and cultural perspectives that shape their lives. Themes include ancestry, cultural links, cultural tensions, and core value systems. Insights are shared into family dynamics, common struggles and aspirations, while affirming Māori language and cultural identity. Ultimately, these stories reveal resilience, and the bridges people build walking between two worlds.
