Made in Taiwan Documentary


In this documentary, Oscar Kightley and Nathan Rarere use DNA technology in this documentary to trace the origins of their kin. We learn that their ancestors originated from Taiwan before migrating through Vanuatu (and the Cook Islands, for those heading to Aotearoa), to the Pacific. We meet local people on the DNA trail and notice striking cultural similarities-even in Taiwan, where the indigenous people look Polynesian and provide a haka-like welcome.
