Today, Pacific Islanders are struggling to maintain their identity and traditions. Dance is central to these efforts and for centuries it has remained one of the most powerful vehicles for transmitting culture. This documentary tells their "dance stories", visiting islands in the Pacific Ocean such as New Zealand, New Caledonia, Palau, American Samoa and Chamorro.
