My proudest achievement was starting the first indigenous language show for Fiji Television, when I worked there in the 1990s. That weekly programme, Talanoa, still screens today, some 24 years later. My most harrowing assignment was directing a documentary on George Gwaze, a black Zimbabwean vet who had immigrated to Christchurch and was tried twice for a "murder" that actually turned out to be an HIV-related death. George was a victim of confirmation bias in our health system, medical staff jumping to conclusions and then trying to prove themselves right, and unconscious bias in the criminal justice system—institutionally racist procedures with ignorant disregard for how others view the world. George Gwaze was eventually found not guilty. His life and family were torn apart, yet he never received an apology nor compensation. Mr Gwaze has never received justice, and I want to use my time here to help ensure we never have another case like this. My studies may help in that regard. I completed an honours degree in law from Otago University, and the legacy from my brief stint as a lawyer was setting up Russell McVeagh's pro bono section.
