“A stunning slice of rural life and the gutsy women who share a passion for shearing” Hilary Barry, Seven Sharp.
SHE SHEARS (Exempt)
Saturday 20 October 8.30pm
Sunday 21 October 4.30pm
SHE SHEARS is the New Zealand documentary on five women with a passion for sheep shearing – two of whom are legends, three of whom are stars on the rise.
“When a Kiwi girl sets her heart on becoming a shearer there’s not a lot that’s going to stop her”, as the five women profiled in this lively doco happily testify.
Central Otago’s Pagan Karauria admits it was tough getting a gig at the start, but with her champion dad staunchly behind her, she’s made the shearing shed the focus of her career, not just as a competitive shearer, but as an ace wool sorter and mentor to other young women. Catherine Mullooly, from the King Country, packs her skills for some enterprising OE. With whānau solidly backing them, each of these women strive, more than anything, to better themselves.
Directed and Written by Jack Nicol (feature debut)
Starring Jills Angus Burney, Hazel Wood, Catherine Mullooly, Pagan Karauria, Emily Welch

NZ Herald 3.5/ 5 Stars “Worthy of note is its examination into the role that women played; whose skills were not only employed in the manufacture and design of the aircraft, but also their piloting prowess in delivering the 22,000 Spitfires to the airfields.”
SPITFIRE (Exempt)

SPITFIRE– they say she was beautiful. A dream. But for all her good looks, she was also a killer.
Credited with changing the course of world history, this is the story of the Spitfire – told in the words of the last-surviving combat veterans.
With stunning aerial footage from the world’s top aviation photographer, the film also contains rare, digitally re-mastered, archive footage from the tumultuous days of the 1940’s when her power in the skies was unrivalled.
Narrated by Charles Dance (Game of Thrones).
