Being Niuean
Directed by Shimpal Lelisi
In 2024 Niue celebrated 50 years of self-governance, overseen by New Zealand administration. What benefits and what problems has this created for the small Island nation? We look back at the hopes and aspirations of those who lead the 1974 movement for self- governance, and how Niueans feel about it today. 'Being Niuean' looks at what happens when most of your island population has relocated to the diaspora, and how the motherland manages to sustain itself.
