Overview

More than 20,000 New Zealand Maori have Spanish blood and a family nickname that recalls it: they call themselves "Panioras," which means "Spaniards" in the Maori language. They are descended from a man from Segovia, Manuel José de Frutos, who emigrated to New Zealand in the 1830s. This documentary follows the trail he left and meets his descendants, who are very proud of their Spanish heritage.
