Independence Leaders of the Melanesians in New Caledonia | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

In the lead up to New Caledonia’s independence referendum, a Kanak woman fights to preserve her culture, as well as the future of her tribe, Vieux-Touho. This documentary goes beyond dressing her portrait. It also tells the story of a tribe and its members, as seen through the eyes of her soon-to-be chief: Maggy Thyem. Is this community ready to welcome a woman as head of Its tribe? Filmed during the referendum, this documentary follows the daily tribulations of the Vieux-Touho clans, as they are faced with the need to transfer their customs in order to survive. The group also tackles social pressure and the ghosts of colonisation. In their fight for a better future, their only way to shape their new geography and solve this ancestral conflict is to deal with both present and past issues.
