Independence Leaders of the Melanesians in New Caledonia

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.
