The Wahine Disaster Full Documentary (The award-winning story of a tragedy at sea)

"An amazing documentary, very moving"

A powerful and tense re-creation of one of the world’s most dramatic and tragic disasters at sea.
The story of the desperate efforts to save 734 lives from a ship that was sinking - in the most violent storm in New Zealand's history - with extraordinary original footage, and interviews.

A story from the heart of New Zealand.

When the inter-island ferry TEV Wahine set sail on her overnight journey - no-one knew the ship was on her way into the heart of the most powerful storm ever to hit New Zealand.
This award-winning documentary weaves together eye-witness testimony of the Wahine Disaster - first-hand accounts of the heroism, and the heartbreak of that fateful day.

Years of research went into investigating the full story, meticulously piecing together what happened.
Survivors and crew, and rescuers were tracked down and here they speak for the first time of the traumatic events that haunt them - and many New Zealanders - still.
