Huge appreciation to everyone involved in making this video: The awesome librarians at our national libraries and film archives. Te Haeata Awatea kapa haka group. The radio / internet / tv stations that promoted the idea. All those who stopped into the studio with editing advice. Everyone who said yes to including a photo of themselves and their loved ones. And the stories attached to these photos and these lives. It is truly humbling.

You and Me, we are a New Zealand.

AOTEAROA (lyrics)
And if the past's a distant land, maybe there is no rhyme or reason, and if we salvage what we can, you and me, we are a new zealand.

And yes its true we're very young, and we have sticks and stones and bruises, can we undo what has been done, is this the way destiny chooses, you and me - we are a new zealand....Its you and I
