A Flickering Truth: NZ doco submitted for Oscars
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to Auckland film maker Pietra Brettkelly, whose documentary about efforts to preserve Afghanistan's film archive is New Zealand's submission for next year's Academy Award.
EXTENDED BODY:
Auckland filmmaker Pietra Brettkelly's documentary about efforts to preserve Afghanistan's film archive, is New Zealand's submission for the Oscars next year.
A Flickering Truth was filmed over three years and follows three men who dedicated themselves to protecting, preserving and restoring thousands of hours of film footage from Afghanistan's cinematic past.
The film will be submitted to the Best Foreign Language category.
Despite stories that the corrupt owner of Afghanistan's film archive was known to request large amounts of money to access the films, Brettkelly's persistence helped her to do what would have been considered impossible for others to even dare to do.
After numerous conversations, Brettkelly was finally granted access to the archive. Fortunately for her, the old corrupt owner of the Afghanistan Film Archives had been pushed out and there was a new owner who was willing to work with her saying, "Let's discover them together."
There were 8,000 hours of undocumented films, some dating back a hundred years, that had been disintegrating horribly after being neglected by the Taliban. The films were not stored to survive the harsh weather, lack of constant power and damaged infrastructure in Afghanistan.
There is a scene in A Flickering Truth where Brettkelly is interrupted while she was filming, part of a ceiling in one of the rooms had been torn away and two films were discovered that had been hidden away from the Taliban.
Brettkelly recognised the Champs-Élysées in Paris in one of the films, while in the other a man who had studied in Russia recognised the Tsar of Russia, which helped them date it to 1915.
Brettkelly's team discovered Afghanistan's films had once been diverse in their scope, featuring scantily clad women, cowboys, Bollywood styles and many other subjects that wouldn't be acceptable now.
It took Brettkelly two and a half years to capture the energy of Afghanistan. She kept herself grounded with two rules; no foreigners and no soldiers as she wanted the film to be about the people.
Afghanistan's history has been hijacked by war and invasion and she says she hopes the film will reveal a tranquil past about which many have forgotten.

Tupuna Awa: People and politics of the Waikato River
BODY:
The Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand. Marama Muru-Lanning's book, Tupuna Awa looks at the people and politics of the Waikato River, including the way Maori of the region, the Crown and Mighty River Power have talked about water, ownership, guardianship and the river. Marama Muru-Lanning is of Waikato and Ngati Maniapoto descent.
EXTENDED BODY:
Marama Muru-Lanning's book, Tupuna Awa looks at the people and politics of the Waikato River.
Muru-Lanning says Tupuna Awa is a look at modern iwi politics and contests for power between Māori and the state.
Muru-Lanning is of Waikato and Ngāti Maniapoto descent and is the acting director of the James Henare Māori Research Centre.
At 425 km the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand. It begins on the slopes of Mt Ruapehu, draining into Lake Taupo and exiting at the north-east.
After flowing through a series of hydro-electric dams and passing through Cambridge, Hamilton, Ngaruawahia and Huntly the river ends as it enters the Tasman Sea at Waikato Heads.
Tupuna Awa looks at the people and politics of the river.
Muru-Lanning introduces us to the way Māori of the region, Crown and Mighty River Power have talked about water, ownership, stakeholders, guardianship and the river.
Those conversations culminated in 2009 with a Deed of Settlement signed by Waikato-Tainui and the Crown that established a new co-governance structure for the river.
By examining debates over water, Muru-Lanning zooms in on modern iwi politics and contests for power between Māori and the State.
"I grew up at Türangawaewae Marae on the banks of the Waikato River.
"I know about its flooding and currents, its high and low water lines. I know about the safe places for swimming, and the least dangerous places to jump into it from the bridges. I remember the mists and living in fog, days of being cold to the bone. I know the smell of the river. I crossed it every day to get to school.
"The river is my ancestor, my Tupuna Awa," Muru-Lanning says.

How to make your kids smart: play with them!
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to parenting commentator Nathan Mikaere Wallis, founder of X-Factor Education. He says creativity plays a crucial role in developing intelligence and has tips for parents.
EXTENDED BODY:
Creativity and play is essential to the development of intelligence in children, a parenting expert says.
Nathan Mikaere-Wallis, founder of X-Factor education, says play is at the forefront of learning between the ages of three to seven.
“Parents tend to think of play as being the opposite of learning and I think in that dichotomy, you’re thinking about learning as a seven year old. The sitting down and learning something and taking on a new skill.”
“The central ingredient of playing is responsiveness and in fact babies are doing that in the last trimester in the womb.”
‘Play’ is interactive, unstructured activities – usually away from the iPad. Having an imaginary friend at this age is a good sign, too.
“You can also play by yourself. It’s about it being non-purposeful and open-ended, for the fun of it.”
Longitudinal studies show that the more free play there is in early childhood, the less statistical chance there is the child will go to prison, Mikaere-Wallis says.
“That seems counterintuitive to people because in New Zealand, we’ve got this idea that the earlier you act like you’re seven [by reading and writing], the better off you’re going to be for the rest of your life.”
Mikaere-Wallis would also like to see parents allowing the kids to take the lead when playing together.
“We as adults when we tend to play with kids we want to lead it and we put rules and structure onto things. Children live in a very emotional world. We can follow children’s lead, let them lead the play.”
Humans start using their frontal cortex from the age of seven, the part of the brain that engages logical thinking. Letting children take the lead sometimes means ignoring the rules altogether.
“Who said you have to follow the rules? There’s plenty of time for that after seven.”

And now three of the most prominent human rights organisations in the United States have launched a campaign calling on President Barack Obama for an official pardon.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are behind the 'Pardon Snowden' campaign. Noa Yachot is the campaign director.

The face of modern conservation?
BODY:

Auckland Zoo is celebrating Conservation Week by relocating 10 wild saddlebacks from Tiritiri Matangi Island, to be on display at the zoo's Te Wao Nui forest aviary. But is this how modern conservation should be celebrating success stories?
EXTENDED BODY:
Auckland Zoo is celebrating Conservation Week by relocating 10 wild saddlebacks from Tiritiri Matangi Island to its Te Wao Nui forest aviary.
But is that how modern conservation should be celebrating success stories? Dr Kevin Parker, a conservation scientist doesn’t think so.
His work revolves around reintroducing birds to establish wild populations and he has worked with North Island saddlebacks for 12 years.
He thinks putting wild animals in a cage is the old way of doing conservation.
“Wild birds are best in wild places. Birds have been shaped by thousands of years of evolution to live in wild places and do their wild things. And if you confine them, it’s a really unnatural situation for them.”
Auckland Zoo says having the birds at the zoo, will encourage people to engage in further conservation about the species. People who may otherwise have no interest in this fascinating bird.
Dr Parker is worried however that the saddlebacks will be very confined.
“It’s like somebody coming into your suburban street taking ten houses and saying all those people fit into one house. They’ll be competition.”
He says there are fourteen wild populations in the North Island that are easily accessible to the public – and that is the environment in which they should be seen.
“There are a lot of opportunities for the public to see saddlebacks if they want to.”
The saddlebacks almost disappeared in the 1960s. The North Island saddleback was reduced to a population of just 500 birds, the South Island species to just 36 birds.
There are estimated to be 10000 birds now – a great conservation success story given the bird’s vulnerability to predation.
In the 1960s an ambitious translocation programme started which ultimately saved the bird.
Started by the New Zealand Wildlife Service, and continued by the New Zealand Department of Conservation, and more recently by community-based conservation groups, has increased the global population to at least 10000 birds scattered across 18 islands and five protected mainland sites. North Island saddlebacks are now secure and extinction is very unlikely.
“They’re incredibly vulnerable to predation, they nest in cavities, but also roost in cavities year round. We’re very lucky to still have them actually.”

The Expats: Jude Day in Sabah, Malaysia
BODY:
Jude Day lives in the small town of Menggatal in the state of Sabah, which is one of the 13 states of Malaysia.
EXTENDED BODY:
Jude Day lives in the small town of Menggatal in Sabah, which is one of Malaysia’s 13 states.
She came to live in Kota Kinabalu in 2007 after a life of teaching English and training non-native speaking English teachers.
That career has taken her and her partner to 12 different countries.
The wandering life started back in 1974 and has taken in Malaysia, Japan, USA, Australia, PNG, Tanzania, Poland, Namibia, Vietnam, UAE, China, and Qatar.
Jude came to live in Sabah in 2007 and Griffin her partner joined her a year later.
“Now it's good to be in one place - and to have time to get involved in the community and, hopefully, contribute something - even though this isn't my own country.”
Menggatal is 13 km out of from Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah.
“We have a lovely house that looks towards Kokol Mountain, part of the Crocker Range. Mt Kinabalu is part of this range and it's the highest mountain between the Himalayas and PNG, being just over 4000 metres high.”
Jude says Sabah is a pleasant place to live with friendly, relaxed locals and great food (a mix of Malay, Chinese and indigenous cuisines), and has the advantage of being relatively close to New Zealand.
And it’s a full life for the Kiwi expats.
Jude organises the annual Kota Kinabalu International Film Festival which has been going for 8 years now, is involved with the Sabah Society, her church, the Cheshire Society (for people coping with disabilities) and the local arts scene.
But she says it’s not all roses. KK’s traffic jams are bad and the laidback pace of life means getting things done to a deadline is a challenge.
But mostly, life’s a joy she says.
“The wonderful opportunities we have to get to know people from the 30 different indigenous groups here in Sabah, as well as the diverse flora and fauna - orchids, orangutans and proboscis monkeys among them!”

1:15 Snowden Supporters Call on Obama for Pardon
Self-exiled whistleblower, Edward Snowden, has made his case for a presidential pardon, at a public campaign launch today. It's been three years since the former National Security Agency contractor released details of mass phone and internet surveillance by his employer. And now three of the most prominent human rights organisations in the United States have launched a campaign calling on President Barack Obama for an official pardon. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are behind the 'Pardon Snowden' campaign. Noa Yachot is the campaign director.

1:25 The Face of Modern Conservation?
It's Conservation Week, and to celebrate, the Department of Conservation and local groups are running events throughout the country. Auckland Zoo is also celebrating, by relocating 10 wild saddlebacks from Tiritiri Matangi Island, to be on display at the zoo's Te Wao Nui forest aviary. But is this how modern conservation should be celebrating success stories? Dr Kevin Parker is a conservation scientist whose work revolves around reintroducing birds to establish wild populations. He has worked with North Island saddlebacks for 12 years, and thinks putting wild animals in a 'cage' is the old way of doing conservation.
