Tongan producer urges Pacific people to talk openly about mental wellbeing

It's Mental Health Awareness Week in New Zealand and the theme this year is 'Explore your way to wellbeing'.

New Zealand's Ministry of Health says more Pacific people suffer from mental disorders than other ethnic groups.

Ms Kailahi, who helped produce the documentary My Father's Kingdom, says the film concerns mental wellbeing and resiliency.
