Welcome to the full-length version of Sharing the Love, the debut documentary by Rochelle Umaga.
It's about Whāngai, the Māori custom where a child is brought up by someone other than their birth parents – usually another relative.
The powerful and thought-provoking film is about Riann and Tumatauenga Umaga-Marshall, who choose to whangai adopt their fourth child to Riann's brother and his wife, who have been trying unsuccessfully for a baby for 13 years.

Sharing the Love was made with funding from New Zealand on Air.
