New Zealand’s National Film Unit presents 'Maui One - Oil from the Sea' (1971)
Ungainly, a giant raft with a crazy superstructure, the off-shore drilling rig Discoverer II spent several months in a probe for oil in New Zealand waters. This film is a complete record of the successful search - and perhaps one of the most exciting ever made about the hunt for oil.
