The Rainbow Warrior in New Zealand

The new Rainbow Warrior, on her first journey to New Zealand, visits Matauri Bay, the resting place of the original Rainbow Warrior, which was bombed by French secret service agents in Auckland in 1985. The shoot include images of a festival run by local iwi Te Whanau a Apanui (Maori tribe) celebrating the withdrawal oil giant Petrobras which had planned to drill for deep sea oil. A united front of protest action took place in the Raukumara Basin in 2011 that disrupted deep sea oil surveys.
