Beyond White Guilt

Beyond White Guilt is a seven-part documentary web-series that tells the stories of New Zealanders who are reflecting on their colonial heritage and white guilt, and the ways they push through to find a more healthy Pākehā identity.

An anti-racism conversation timed to coincide with the 250 year anniversary of Captain Cook’s arrival in Aotearoa. Racism is a white problem, and the onus is on white New Zealanders to look at ourselves.

This series was originally released in 2019 under the title ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’, and re-released in 2020 with an updated title and content to reflect its ongoing relevance.

All episodes are currently available to view online via the New Zealand Herald and Radio New Zealand.
