New documentary Vaka shows people from the remote Pacific community of Tokelau doing everything they can to proactively respond to climate change, weaving together customary wisdom and modern techniques.

The film is made by Massey University Media Production students, and is screening at Exposure Hi Kanohi Kitea, at Massey's Wellington campus until November 16th.

Kelly Moneymaker and Mason Rudd spent two weeks with a small team filming on Tokelau earlier this year.  They tell Kathryn Ryan theirs' is a relatively positive story about climate change.
