She wrote a book based on the 13-part TV series Pacifica: Myth, Magic And The Traditional Wisdom From The South Sea Islands, one of several collaborations with the filmmaker and photographer John Tristram. A film about Gordon Bennett, the first indigenous winner of the Moet Chandon, Black Angels: A Widening Vision, was another.
