Our Aotearoa is an animated documentary series that speaks to immigrants' personalexperiences living in Aotearoa. These episodes explore themes of racism, discrimination, loss,loneliness, and maintaining cultural ties while living in another country. We feel there is little multicultural representation in mainstream media in Aotearoa. Thisproject's purpose is to help open a dialogue for a more diverse representation of Aotearoa – theone we know, Our Aotearoa.
