Welcome to 'Weaving Rainbows' a Coconet series on our Pasifika rainbow communities.

These 5 mini documentaries share an intimate insight into the lives of our LGBTQIA aiga - the joys, the challenges, the celebrations and the negotiations with the world that are involved in day to day living. 

These portraits of our diverse communities capture moments of pathos and humour, but more then anything they show the triumph of spirit and the alofa that is shared so widely with this aiga around the Pasifika region.

Check back here each week for more from this series ...
