Witness I Am The River
I Am The River is a film about a unique set of 700 glass plate photos, the Partington Collection, which document Maori life in the 19th century. The discovery of these previously unknown photographs in a garage in the Bay of Islands in 2001 provided a rare visual insight into New Zealand's history and forged a link between the Maori of the present with the tupuna of the past. However, it provoked a storm of protest over cultural differences of ownership. (http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/witness/2013/09/i-am-river-201392410212172573.html)
