So many of the stories of The Z-Nail Gang have been inspired by and woven together from actual events that have taken place in the Coromandel over the last 30 years. Today Anton and I begin a weekend of visiting many of those significant people and places again now the film is almost complete.
Today we had the privilege of spending time with the Coromandel Watchdog committee - some of whom were involved with events depicted in the film, others who have subsequently joined the battle, and we were reminded that the reality and risk remains the same - pristine native environment is still being threatened by huge international mining corporations. To them, this is not a celebration of a past victory, but a ready reminder of a continuing crusade.
We are also starting to book in the movie with cinemas and had a great reception with the owner of Thames multiplex - very excited to say that The Z-Nail Gang will be screening in this beautiful cinema in only a matter of months...
Watch this space for further updates of our travels - tomorrow Whitianga, GreenSpot, Moututere & Kuaotunu...
