Chatham Island's Lone Policeman (Global Documentary) | Real Stories

Фильм және анимация

Take a tour with the islands' sole policeman, meet the Air Chathams' chief pilot who owns a 1950s flight simulator the size of a house and visit a sacred grove of ancient hand-carved trees with Moriori descendant Shirley. On even more remote Pitt Island, visit the country's most isolated school (number of pupils: 7, 3 of them the principal's children) and 7th generation farming family, the Gregory-Hunts, who raised 11 children there.

    Despite the somewhat misleading title, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this docu-video of life in the Chatham Islands. Absolutely love the lifestyle and what the locals do to upkeep the integrity of their environment. Did not see what is in place in terms of health and medical preparedness on the islands but from what I've seen already of their resourcefulness, I'm pretty confident their health setup is as good as what it needs to be. Congratulations to everyone involved in keeping the Chatham candle burning and who knows, I might come for a peek one of these days.

    Great documentary, and a perfect length from my perspective, allowing indepth conversations (together with interesting videography, and historical recordings in B&W). An even LONGER version would be quite acceptable, and would NOT put the more intelligent viewers to sleep. The Chatham and Pitt Islanders are set up for the *_Perfect COVID-19 Quarantine Experience,_* as long as they have no one bringing the virus to them. They need to go into lockdown as soon as possible.

    @@BrassLock PEOPLE get those goods to and from that island. Depending on the escalating lockdown stages, again, that will impact their accessibility to goods. The lockdown pertains to those who are sick and those who are not and it has extended to Chatham Island. That is common sense. Your "education" attempt was very poor, its sad you considered sharing that little amount of common knowledge a huge bout of your energy. Yes, the island is isolated to a certain extent and for NOW essentials are still in circulation but many in New Zealand now are experiencing forced isolation where they currently are, unable to get on ferries nor take domestic flights and cannot travel to and from freely. Those who transport goods to and from the island also follow these guidelines of a lockdown. So again, that begs the question of how a complete lockdown would affect the islands and their access to essential goods. Since you are under the impression that I'm incorrect in thinking its impacted, you still have yet to clarify an answer.

    Given that that the Moriori, a peaceable people, were nearly annihilated by invading war-mongering Maori, and those that survived were then held in brutal slavery for 30 years, do lingering resentments remain between these two communities to this day?

    In 1835 when the chatham Islands were invaded by the Ngāti Tama and Ngāti Mutunga, Māori were not united so it's difficult to accept your generalization (consider that at the same time in Europe, Germany did not exist till the 1860s & were city-states rather than a country...like Athens and sparta) considering that at the time, my people Ngāti Maniapoto, The Arawa, & Waikato were peaceable & had a leader championing peace "King Tawhaio ||". Unfortunately that backfired for us. Back to Māori-Moriori. They were decimated, but survived on in mixed māori/moriori still. The events are acknowledged in Māoridom and I think because of this, it helps to accept the burden of what happened and the need to remember and move along with life with these memories. We still cry over the past and the ancestors who suffered because Māori/moriori are collectivistic cultures that worship ancestors and regurgitate history to keep our connections to ancestors alive. I think this form of accountability, helps moriori descendants to grieve and move along. Resentment is too negative a word, remembrance and conciliation is what remains today. :-)
