As the New Zealand population hits over four and a half million and with predictions that within 22 years just 42% of Auckland's population will be P?keh?, never has it been more important to tell the stories of young multicultural New Zealanders. TV3 series Both Worlds, made by WIFT member Julia Parnell, champions the voices of 'new' New Zealand, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation New Zealanders who are the future of our country. Over 10 honest and inspiring episodes a group of brave young people explore issues like race, religion, feminism and identity whilst pursuing goals in comedy, music, photography, beauty pageantry and neuroscience. Both Worlds continues to confront a question we must all ask; what does it mean to be a New Zealander? |
