Long isolated and the last land mass to be settled, New Zealand contains a world of Alice Through the Looking Glass natural oddities: birds, insects and plants like nowhere else. Jared Diamond remarked, "it is the nearest approach to life on another planet". Front-running camera techniques (earning a Merit Award at 2002 International Wildlife Film Festival) and Māori myth reveal these Ghosts of Gondwana, delving into the night-time world of ancient forests: bat-filled tree trunk saunas, “demon grasshopper” weta, and furry kiwi with chopstick bills.
