Burger got his own awards for What Really Happened: Waitangi, a 2002 episode of Mataku, and co-directing docudrama Erebus: Operation Overdue.

A good day is a day when I have created something at work that makes me feel emotional in some way, and then at home, the family can make it through the evening without getting too emotional. Peter Burger in an interview with Te Karaka, July 2013
