Explore the experiences of Māori in Aotearoa during the global pandemic. For Māori it can be difficult to trust the government and its western systems, they have not favoured our people and are seen as the key driver to upholding the colonial oppression of indigenous people.

Journey with whānau who have navigated through the highs and lows, and how they were able to make the brave decision of whether or not to vaccinate their tamariki (their children) against the virus.
