Fijian filmmaker Elizabeth Koroivulaono builds resilience as she drives Pacific voices into the mainstream
Description
Meet a film producer, documentary director and visual storyteller based in Auckland, New Zealand, whose work is rooted in the heart of the Pacific.
Born in Vuaki village, Yasawa, from Matuku Lau and raised in Suva, Fiji, Elizabeth Koroivulaono brings powerful authenticity to the screen, capturing the lived experiences and voices of Pacific communities with deep empathy and an Indigenous lens.
Her storytelling is rich with heart, integrity and cultural insight.
One stand-out example is The Forgotten Pacific, a compelling original documentary from Coconet TV that shines a light on untold stories from the region.
But Elizabeth's journey goes beyond the camera. In this episode, she opens up about navigating identity, creativity, and the shift from growing up as part of the majority to living in a place where she became a minority. It's a conversation about belonging, resilience and the power of storytelling to bridge worlds.
