I Was There 1970s - Social Trends
1970s - Social Trends: Protests and big social change were the social characteristics of the 70s. Maori were finding their voice and demanding what was theirs through the Land Marches and Bastion Point occupation. We protested racist rugby tours, dams, nuclear warship visits and the Vietnam war, and ended the Dawn Raids against Pacific Island overstayers. At the same time, significant institutions were formed, institutional safety nets like the DPB and ACC, and the Waitangi Tribunal, which would shape the kind of country we were to become.
Join legendary TV presenters Dougal Stevenson, Jennie Goodwin, Judy Bailey and Tom Bradley in a brand new local series, I Was There showing every weeknight in June. Each episode is presented by one of our iconic Kiwi newsreaders and covers a new decade. From the 60s through to the 90s, as viewers are taken through the biggest moments in New Zealand history over four momentous periods of change. I Was There unearths footage from rare archives, and fresh interviews offer new perspectives on the moments that changed our nation, from national tragedies to sporting triumphs and cultural milestones - all from the people who lived them.
