A love letter to Auckland’s small but mighty inner-city Pasifika community

Still Here is the latest all-female Pasifika production which celebrates the small but mighty community of inner-city who have remained despite decades of rampant gentrification.

With four episodes lasting 15-20mins long, Still Here weaves intergenerational stories of Pasifika families, community, and culture dispelling the myth that “all the Islanders have left”.
