Grace Williams doesn’t whakapapa Māori, but says her Sāmoan roots give her insight into the loss of an ancestral language - and that made her deeply invested in Marlon’s journey. Photo: David St George
The documentary, Marlon Williams: Ngā Ao E Rua - Two Worlds, follows Marlon Williams (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāi Tai) over four years as he reconnects with his whakapapa, embraces te reo Māori and writes and records his first full album in te reo, Te Whare Tīwekaweka.
Tony Stamp speaks with Ursula Grace Williams, the director of the new feature documentary, about how it came to be, what it took to make, and what it means to her.
