Te Whiringa Taura o Whanganui
Television (Full Length) – 2007
I usually run a mile from docos containing too many historical "dramatisations" ... But writer/director Howard Taylor's investigation of the mythical, historical, ecological and spiritual aspects of the Whanganui River is deeply moving ... You're left entertained, enlightened and politicised.
– Grant Smithies, reviewing the documentary in The Sunday Star-Times
