Te Puna Ora: The Source of Life
Season 13
Episode 1
Follow three Indigenous women - a community leader, a spearfisher and a teenage activist - as they cultivate an alliance at the front lines of climate change. Inspired by myths and rituals that shaped their Tahitian culture, these women move beyond bureaucracy and toward grassroots empowerment to oppose overdevelopment, take back indigenous land, and demand recognition from international leaders.
