Distant Roots (2026)

Directed by Caleb Teaupa

· 15m

In New Zealand, a Tongan father in his seventies labours through the unchanging rhythm of construction work, long after his children have grown and moved on. As the days blur together and time slips away, he is haunted by distance, from his roots in Vava’u, Tonga, and from the family he is still trying to hold onto.
