"Kiwi As & The Poll Tax Story"

Date2013Reference NumberAms 462/4DescriptionDocumentary film from the "Face to Face series". Blurb on the back of the original DVD case reads:

"Who is a Kiwi? How can you tell? Who decides?

Jan Poole is a descendant of some of New Zealand's important early settlers, yet more than 100 years later, Jan is often still assumed to be a foreigner because of her appearance. However when Jan travelled to her ancestral home, how did people react to her there?

Jan recounts her life experiences and the changes she has witnessed growing up as a New Zealand Chinese living astride two cultures.

Then Jan opens the door on some skeletons in the political cupboard of early New Zealand immigration. Learn how the Chinese were castigated for decades like no other race in the history of our country.

Enjoy the bonus feature: Jan's mother, Mary, returns to her village in China after 60 years."
