I Was There 1960s - Social Trends
1960s - Social Trends: New Zealand started off the 60s as a quiet farming nation with our own holy trinity of rugby, racing and beer . But overseas travel became more possible by air, and we became increasingly influenced by overseas – our first American style shopping mall opened in 1963, wine began being served in restaurants legally (The Gourmet on Shortland St). Maori were increasingly moving to the city from the country, as were a lot of other people, and when the wool prices collapsed in 1967, unemployment grew, pushing more people the city… dissatisfaction with the golden era would grow, we’d see the protest movement start to grow, and James K Baxter forming Jerusalem.
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.
