This is only a small clip of the whole series.
Ninnox made a bold attempt with this series to capture a cross section of New Zealand history of various ethnicities.
I think they did a great job and am proud to have been one of the participants.
In a hundred years time our decendants may look at this grand documentary and thank the producers, directors and persons that helped establish both ordinary and extraorinary history and what it took to say "I am Kiwi.."
However, it is best you see ther entire series.
