This footage really brought the film home for me, what they were trying to achieve. Being in the UK, I've only seen an endearingly tattered print of 'Utu' in not-so-endearing poor resolution, but I hope to see this restoration someday. The work you are doing with this site is invaluable, keep up the good work!
