Navigation for Meng

Series Classification: PG (Parental Guidance) | Produced for Whakaata Māori by Uhz Ltd.



Meng is a one-hour, bilingual documentary that follows former Gisborne mayor and current Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon as he navigates a very public role at a national level after 18 years in local politics.

Fluent in te reo Māori, Meng is often seen as a symbolic bridge between Māori and Chinese, or tauiwi, communities.

The documentary charts a year of ups, downs, and personal transformations for Meng.
