Otara : where ancient and new technologies meet

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "Never before has the world been connected so quickly and so cheaply. Information has become the single greatest asset of this era. Yet people still 'perish' or lose their way. In Aotearoa New Zealand, a seemingly most unlikely place for such a challenge, individuals, families and their communities struggle to obtain and sustain quality of life.

    The inability to cope with the pace of change of rapidly evolving technology, of a paradigm paralysis that locks people into a time warp of thinking and the struggle to access sufficient relevant information is a major liability and major social cost to an already struggling society.

    On the other hand, paradigm shifts and sufficient information when leveraged by the right technology can produce far greater opportunities for creating success and securing both a healthy and an affordable quality of life.

    This is the story about a predominantly Maori and Pasifika community in urban Aotearoa New Zealand where young people, their families and a school community chose to create a different tomorrow. It is a story of convergence; of restored memory of cultural tradition, values and beliefs, appropriate knowledge, information and technology, applied wisdom and spirituality.

    It is the story of Otara: where ancient and new technologies meet."--Publisher's information.
