LOST IN TRANSLATION – sees Mike King retrace the journey taken by the Treaty of Waitangi, back in 1840, to find the real story of what happened at the founding of our nation. He finds the descendants of those who signed, those who didn’t, and people whose forebears were the Treaty carriers - from missionaries to military men and traders.
