Inter-Racial Marriage in New Zealand was produced by the Overseas
Programme Exchange Service. (Two-part programme)

John Harre, a lecturer in Anthropology at Otago University, talks about mixed marriages between Māori and Pakeha.

He examines the prevalence of racism and gives some examples of prejudice mixed race couples have encountered. He spent 10 months in Auckland talking to couples and studying marriage records from 1960.
