One Hundred and Forty Days Under the World
Short Film (Full Length) – 1964
High up on this lonely plateau, hands of strong men shake as the letters and parcels are sorted into six large piles. But news and greetings from New Zealand, however warm, only make the cities and beaches and the Christmas blaze of pohutakawa seem very far away.– From the film's narration
