I'd recommend this, we saw them both a few weeks ago at a rather packed lunchtime forum on the matter - although obviously a little one sided, it was still informative and offered an interesting look at some of the alternatives for power generation in the region.

In case you're interested...

The Mokihinui River documentary is part of the Rivers series that recently screened on PrimeTV. Photographer, and Forest & Bird Executive member Craig Potton explores the untouched wilderness of the West Coast’s Mokihinui River.

The Tale of Two Rivers looks at the struggle for power on the West Coast. It looks at some of the proposed hydro-electric schemes for the West Coast including the one proposal to dam the Mokihinui and one for using waste water at the Stockton mine.

After the films there will be an opportunity to ask an expert panel about New Zealand Rivers and the Mokihinui. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards Forest & Bird’s Wild Rivers Campaign.

Thursday 18th November, drinks & nibbles @6pm, film screenings @6:30pm. Paramount Theatre, Courtenay Place, Wellington. Tickets: $20 waged, $15 unwaged (incl. Drinks & nibbles), and can be purchased by clicking on this link to the Forest & Bird website, or buying them from Forest & Bird’s reception at Level 1, 90 Ghuznee St. For more info, contact Jolene Molloy, 04 801 2213, or j.molloy@forestandbird.org.nz.
