CHINKS, COCONUTS & CURRY-MUNCHERS

“A documentary that takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the “pseudo multicultural society” that exists in New Zealand. A range of people who consider themselves to be Kiwis speak candidly about searching for their own cultural identity in the wake of assimilation and stereotyping.” (New Zealand Listener)
