'Home' tells the stories of ten families who have travelled from other countries to make Upper Hutt their home.

Through their stories, hear insights into why they left, how they got here, and what brought them to Upper Hutt, New Zealand. Experience their fear, their joy, their sadness. Share in their struggles and rejoice with them in their successes. Most of all, celebrate the families and cultures that make Upper Hutt the multicultural community it is today.
