In this programme Sione Jacobsen speaks with Brian Le Pou a detached youth worker who believes that New Zealand born Pacific Islanders are going thru an identity crisis. He is convinced that half the problems being faced by New Zealand born Pacific Islanders is the lack of pride and loss of identity. He says that they are torn between their parents traditional values which are often hard to accept and at the same time trying to fit into a society that alienates people who are different, and finding ones place, creates a lot of stress.
Also Sione speaks with the captain of the Pacific Peacemaker, who recounts the recent incident with French authorities and a Cook Islands Elder talks about their proposed American tour.
