Maisuka | Documentary
MAISUKA: The Silent killer is a documentary that looks at the pervasiveness of the Diabetes epidemic among Pasifika people in Aotearoa.
We take a close look at Type 2 Diabetes, and how prevalent it is among young Pasifika people. Pacific communities have always led every indicator of type 2 diabetes in Aotearoa and are the worst affected. In the next 20 years, a quarter of the Pacific community will likely develop Type 2 Diabetes and each year, an alarming number of them are Pacific youth.
MAISUKA: The Silent Killer is produced by Sunpix Ltd and was funded through the Public Interest Journalism Fund NZ On Air.
