'The Island in Me' documentary

From Afternoons, 1:50 pm on 1 July 2022

Many New Zealanders have been heading off to the Cook Islands since our borders opened and temperatures dropped here. 

We all have heard of Rarotonga and Aitutaki - but my next guest has made a documentary about a little known atoll that's part of the 15 small islands that form the country of the Cook Islands. 

Pukapuka is at the heart of the Doc Edge film festival documentary showing right now called The Island in Me. The director Gemma Cubero del Barrio talks to Charlotte on Afternoons.
