Filmmaker Agapetos Aia-Fa'aleava is asking the hard questions8 sep43 min

Agapetos Aia-Fa'aleava has always been compelled to speak up against social injustice, and when she learned a law in Queensland had let pubs and clubs deny entry to Pasifika people with facial tattoos, she spoke up once again.

She did this in the form of a documentary and a PhD, Illegal Ink, which explores culture and tattoos and considers who should and shouldn't be allowed to wear the malu.

This edition of Stories From The Pacific was a repeat of the program broadcast on 28 February 2024
