If you are interested/concerned about the degradation of our rivers ad water supply then this is a great insight into the problem faced in one region.
Seven Rivers Walking - Haere Mārire follows the paths of seven braided rivers of the Canterbury Plains and the rivers of Christchurch City to visually prove how once pure rivers and waterways have been poisoned, depleted and degraded in order to profit industry and agriculture. In one of many personal anecdotes that drive the film, a local fisherman recalls how the mighty Rakaia River once spilled a mile out into the Pacific Ocean. New aerial footage reveals the river today meekly slinking into the sea only to be wiped out by the first breaker that crosses its path.
This film also uncovers the water crisis that is fast looming and focuses on how our precious waterways – ‘our taonga, our special places’ can recover. Co-directors Gaylene Barnes and Kathleen Gallagher set about to educate themselves and others about the damage being wrought and options for remedial action. "This documentary is about passionate Kiwis who care deeply about their rivers and environment and want to turn the tide," says Gallagher.
Bill Gosden, founding director of the NZ International Film Festival says: "in the polarised political environment of 2017, this film is a disarmingly peaceable one. It places the hope of change in a shared love of our rivers and riparian environments and a profound appreciation of their ecology. Anglers, rafters, trampers, Kai Tahu, Fish and Game, Forest and Bird, natural scientists, farming families old and new, all bear witness, some as designated experts - all as sentient inhabitants of the only planet we've got.”

Recently awarded a MNZM Queen’s Birthday honour in recognition of his services to agriculture and mental health, charismatic Marlborough farmer Doug Avery now shares his powerful story in The Resilient Farmer, his much-anticipated new book of how he weathered years of drought and desperation to turn his farm — and his life — around.
The Avery family runs Bonavaree Farm at Grassmere, South Marlborough. The farm has been owned by the family since 1919 so they have a deep understanding of the land and how it is shaped by the weather.
The eight-year drought, however, took a personal toll on Doug Avery, and he suffered terribly during those long, dry years. Doug’s farm was depleted and so was he — to the point of severe depression.
The Resilient Farmer is Doug Avery’s empowering example of how to get life back on track. With candour and wisdom, he tells his story of turning desperation into determination, embracing risk, navigating change and, on top of everything, enduring monumental earthquakes.
Doors open at 6:30 pm for refreshments (cash bar). Main event starts 7:00 pm
Tickets: $10. Available at the Regent, online at www.hokitika.com... and at Take Note
