In 1975 the band Dragon — featuring the core unit of Todd and Marc Hunter— quit New Zealand, and took their rock n' roll dreams to Sydney. In this documentary the Hunter brothers reflect on Dragon's rollercoaster musical journey, and the way Australians embraced them. Todd and Marc describe their largely happy childhood in Taumaranui, and the desire to leave Aotearoa in order to make a living as musicians. Both brothers express strong opinions on the cultural differences between Kiwis and Aussies. Dragon are seen performing live. Marc Hunter died in 1998; the band were still performing two decades later.
The 70s in Sydney were quite fantastic, they really were. This was a wide open town in the 70s. And you just had fun: you could live for nothing and have a great time every single night and every single day.– Dragon vocalist Marc Hunter remembers first arriving in Aussie life
