Paradise Soldier
Synopsis
One of NZ’s pioneering ’80s new wave filmmakers is behind an ANZAC Day documentary that sheds light on a “largely untold” aspect of Kiwis at war.
Paradise Soldiers talks with family members, whose grandfathers served in World War One, and discovers the stories of these soldiers that have been passed down in the families.
Paradise Soldiers also looks at the opportunities that military service offers Cook Island men and women today. Since the horrors of World War One and Vietnam, serving in the military during more peaceful times has enabled young Cook Islanders to forge exciting careers.
