From Divers to Grafters: The Legacy Behind Tahiti's Famous Black Pearl

This documentary traces the story of the Tahitian black pearl, from the divers and grafters who cultivate it to its place as a symbol of French Polynesia. It shows how a single jewel carries an economic treasure and a cultural legacy handed down through generations. It balances the craft of pearl farming with the human lives that sustain it. It is a quietly absorbing look at labour, tradition and beauty in the South Pacific. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
