I Was There 1980s - The Decade in News
The 80s saw forestry strikes and anti-nuclear protests, as well as the most divisive demonstrations we’ve seen with the Springbok Tour. We were shocked by bombings of the Trades Hall in Wellington and the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, delighted by a visit from the Pope and the first successful heart transplant.
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.
