LAND OF THE KIWI
New Zealand is so remote, so strange, that the legend that a god fished these islands from the sea could just be true. The wildlife is extraordinary: strange insects; frogs that carry their young; birds that cannot fly - including the national symbol of New Zealand- the kiwi.
CASTLES OF THE UNDERWORLD
A spectacular look at the strange and wonderful world of New Zealand's limestone areas. Crafted over thousands of years the rocks and caves hold a bewildering variety of decorations, wildlife and information that links their world to the one above.
MT COOK - FOOTSTEPS TO THE SKY
Mt Cook's distinctive shape has become a strong symbol to all New Zealanders. This film explores all the meanings of this mountain. A dramatic re-enactment of the first ascent complete with historical equipment contrasts with a modern climbing expedition.
DUNE
Dune is about life on ocean beaches and sand dunes in New Zealand. From crashing surf and shifting sands to large stabe dunes, we meet lizards, sand beetles, and the ever present oyster catchers.
SANCTUARY
One of the oldest wildlife sanctuaries in New Zealand is Kapiti Island. Since the 1890's it has been a refuge for some of the country's unique wildlife, and a workshop for people trying to preserve endangered species. Two men here have shared a love for wild places and wildlife for three decades.
