EREBUS: OPERATION OVERDUE
Opening the 2014 Documentary Edge festival, it scooped the awards for Best Feature, Directing, Cinematography and Editing. The docu-drama follows a group of ordinary New Zealand
police officers given the grizzly task of recovering bodies from Air New
Zealand flight TE901 after it crashed into Mount Erebus on a sightseeing trip to
Antarctica. Set in 1979, the story also traces what would be known as one of the biggest corporate cover-ups in New Zealand's history.
