What is life like on Aotearoa's remotest island? Chatham Islanders: Tchakat Tchatam Airani is a series about a remote community we see and hear very little from.

Rēkohu / Chatham Island / Wharekauri - three peoples, one land. The Chatham Island archipelago is 45 minutes ahead and 800 kilometres east of Aotearoa. The land, the sea and the people are ruggedly beautiful.
