Vai (2019)
Eight connecting moments of seemingly different lives thread together Vai’s journey of empowerment through culture over her lifetime. Beautifully shot over seven Pacific countries, and played by a different indigenous actress in each place, Vai links together a story of family, culture, and at times, isolation. A delicate exploration into the meaning of growth, adaptation, and most notably, a connection to water and home.
Directors: Amberley Jo Aumua, Matasila Freshwater, Marina Alofagia McCartney, ‘Ofa-Ki-Levuka Guttenbeil-Likiliki, Dianna Fuemana, Nicole Whippy, Mīria George, Becs Arahanga, Sharon Whippy.
