Insight for 8 March 2015 - Blurred Lines - Changing Journalism
BODY:
Kim Vinnell explores how targetting journalists is affecting reporting in the Middle East
EXTENDED BODY:
By Kim Vinnell
"I want to be affected by it. I don't want to feel that I'm blasé about it. That death, murder, destruction have become normal."
Despite working in conflict zones for most of the past 15 years, journalist, Imran Khan still feels passionately about conveying to readers, listeners and viewers all the impact of the events he is witness to.
Insight has been exploring whether it is possible for reporters working in areas such as the Middle East to continue to deliver balanced news, when they have become the targets.
Listen to Insight - Blurred Frontlines - The Changing Nature of Journalism
Imran Khan believes that if he becomes hardened or accustomed to what is often happening around him he will be delivering less than his best.
"Because if they become normal then I've lost a piece of myself, and the story won't get the treatment it deserves either," he says.
Almost a decade ago, psychiatrist Anthony Feinstein explored the stress on those working in war zones in his book 'Journalists Under Fire' .
"When news organisations sanitise the content of news, pandering to their viewers' sensitivities, they also inadvertently cleanse the image of the working lives of war journalists, obscuring many of the risks and dangers that they face"
The images viewed on television, in papers and online - even the most graphic of them - have already been censored. Before these images were published, someone assessed the options and chose something hard-hitting, but stomach-able. But even before that newsroom-based gatekeeper made those choices, the reporter, photographer, camera operator, producer or fixer witnessed those images in playing out in real life, with no pause, rewind, or stop button.
The BBC's world affairs editor, John Simpson doesn't like it when journalists use the title 'war correspondent' to describe the type of work they do. He thinks it's used to make one seem important, powerful or worthy. But Feinstein in his research rarely met a journalist who used it that way. And during my own research I've found much the same.
Over coffee at his apartment in Qatar, I asked correspondent Imran Khan why he covers war zones.
"We live in a world where nobody really cares about the intricacies of politics" he tells me. "People care about celebrity and fashion and music and art. It's only when it's headline grabbing that people pay attention, stuff like ISIS and beheadings. But there are people who have to live there. And if they can live through that, then I can show up and report" he says.
That belief - that reporting on conflict is part of a duty to the people living through it - is repeated time and time again by the journalists I meet. But reporting in dangerous areas, and witnessing trauma, does leave an imprint.
Irene Nasser is a Palestinian Israeli television producer. Covering the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, she's found herself in more dangerous situations that she can remember. She's reluctant to talk about her own experiences, but is disconcerted by how normal danger has become.
"It's strange because after a while, I started to categorise which instances of violence I prefer over others" she says. "Which ways do I feel less threatened, which shooting flying objects do I prefer as opposed to the other kinds".
Organisations like Reporters Without Borders and the Rory Peck Trust are still trying to change the perception that journalists should be staunch in the face of trauma. Some networks are starting to encourage and even help employees find psychological help after difficult assignments. But Tina Carr from RPT says those spending the most time in war zones have to do it on their own.
"Staff journalists will be strongly backed up and supported whatever decision they take. So even if they take what might be risky decision there will still be the support of their organisation behind them. Freelancers don't have any of that support," she says.
Imran Khan was following Benazir Bhutto's convoy in Pakistan, when he witnessed what he describes as one of his most traumatic experiences. Bhutto was the target of a bomb attack. He and his team followed the sirens to the hospital, where the dead and injured were being taken:
"I remember being in this hospital , very old hospital, that was whitewashed, white walls, and there was blood everywhere. There were people screaming and people dead… 150 - something people died in that attack. There were people screaming, with limbs hanging off them, if there was ever a depiction of hell. I think it would be that."
After filing the story, he and his team returned to their hotel.
"I couldn't get the image out of my brain" he says. "I switched on Friends which was on the TV. And I watched episode after episode. And that was the only way I could go on, because I was still in the same clothes. I was caked in blood and dust and I stunk, and I just sat on my bed and watched episodes of friends. I can't remember much, other than it was shiny and clean and new and everybody was happy. I needed something, and that was it."
Feinstein argues that within every war journalist is an element of "self-deception", in believing that he or she can "confront war with impunity". As far as I can tell, there's an element of that, but there's more, too. Some are driven by the adrenaline of war reporting, without a doubt. But it seems many more are driven by a desire to tell the human story.
Before leaving Imran Khan's apartment, he shows me art he's collected during his travels. It's an apt end to our interview.
"Everything you see leaves behind an imprint on you. It doesn't matter what it is. A great piece of art, a great film. Terrible scene of a suicide bombing. Whatever it is, it's going to leave an impression on you" he says.

7:30 The Week in Parliament
8:12 Insight: Blurred Frontlines – The Changing Nature of Journalism
The images of Western journalists clad in orange jumpsuits being murdered by fighters claiming a holy war are difficult for the public to ignore. But for journalists, and especially those working in the Middle East, it means much more. Being a war correspondent used to involve watching the front lines, and making calculations on risk versus reward. Now, especially in the Middle East, conflicts involve armed groups who are much harder to predict than armies. Having covered conflicts both up close and from afar, reporter Kim Vinnell takes a look at how groups like Islamic State are changing the game for journalists.
Produced by Philippa Tolley.

However, a few months ago he met Peter Loft. Peter established Achilles in New Zealand in 1994. Achilles is a world-wide organisation that aims to get people with disabilities participating in main-stream sporting events.
On the morning the two men first got together, Peter told Richard he’d like him to travel with Achilles to take part in the New York marathon
“I sat there a little bit stunned and said, ‘Well Peter there’s only one problem… I don’t run.’ And he just looked at me and said ‘Well why don’t you run?’ I suddenly realised that up until this stage of my life I hadn’t had a reason to run and suddenly Peter was handing me that reason.”
Recently Richard ran with the Achilles team in Wellington’s Round the Bays event.
“My kids are pretty proud which is nice. You know you get to be proud of your kids but when your kids get to be proud of you that’s pretty cool too.”

=TRANSCRIPT=
Carol: Good evening, and welcome to One in Five. I’m Carol Stiles.
Two weeks ago about 14,000 people took part in Wellington’s Round the Bays event. Amongst the throngs of runners and walkers, there were dozens of people wearing bright yellow t-shirts emblazoned with the word ‘Achilles’. You couldn’t miss them. In fact, Achilles was the official charity of the Cigna Round the Bays event. Achilles is a worldwide organisation, aiming to get people living with disabilities to take part in mainstream sporting events.
Felicia Manase didn’t even like walking, let alone running, before she linked up with Achilles. She can now say she’s completed a marathon.
Felicia: So I did New York last year with the Achilles team.
Carol: How was that?
Felicia: Oh, man. It was amazing. It’s just unbelievable. It’s so emotional, especially the first 15K. It’s just… I don’t know, unbelievable. So many people just screaming out your name ‘Go, Felicia. You can do it, you can do it.’ They say you’re halfway there when you’re not halfway there.
(All laugh)
Felicity: I’m like OK. I tried not to cry in the first 5K, but it was just so hard. But it was good. I enjoyed it.
Carol: What about the end? What was that like?
Felicia: Oh, gosh. It was just so unreal. It was like ‘Oh, my gosh. I completed the New York marathon.’ ‘Cause I think halfway through I just started puking up. I think everything just… just got too much. And they kept saying ‘Yes, you can do it. We’re nearly there. We’re nearly there.’ For me, I was crying before we even got on the bus to go on to Staten Island. I was like ‘Oh, my gosh. Why am I crying for?’ They were like ‘It’s alright. It’s normal to get all emotional before it starts.’
Kelly Smith: Totally. I agree.
Felicia: The good thing about Achilles, they’re always there to support you, no matter what. They provide you with a training plan, they provide you with a training coach. Just to give that extra guidance throughout this whole year till New York.
Carol: Achilles was launched in New York more than 30 years ago. It’s now in 65 countries and is thriving in New Zealand. Peter Loft, the man who established Achilles here 20 years ago, says outside the states, New Zealand is Achilles’s most active country. There are chapters in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin and talk of more being established in smaller centres. Athletes and guides train together once a fortnight. The ultimate goal for many of the athletes is to compete in the New York marathon. But for the moment the focus is on Wellington’s coastline. Peter Loft is handing out race packs.
Peter: 20492…
Woman: I think I’m doing the 10K at this stage.
Carol: You are a guide or an athlete?
Woman: Yep, a guide.
Peter: If you ever want to run up a hill, Helen will find the biggest hill in Wellington. She’ll love it down here. And she will get you over the top and down the other side. Then she’ll find another hill.
Naomi: Hi, I’m Naomi.
Carol: Hi, Naomi. Michael, hi. Nice to meet you. (Sounds of people at registration desk fading down)
Peter: The difference between us and paralympics is paralympics gets people with one leg racing against other people with one leg, or people in wheelchairs racing against other people in wheelchairs. We get people with disabilities in mainstream marathon running with people of… for example, this weekend we’ll have double amputees, single amputees, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, totally blind, visually impaired, paraplegics, tetraplegics, all part of the Achilles team doing a run with 15,000 able-bodied people now. Isn’t that good? We don’t pay anyone ‘cause as soon as you pay someone their reasons for being there are different. So from myself down all through the board to our coach to our IT person, they all do it because they want to do it. Niva Retimanu is involved, Frank Bunce, Tawera Nikau. All those guys, we don’t pay them. They just want to be part of the team and support us.
Carol: You’ve been to 20 New York marathons. You’ve run beside a lot of people.
Peter: I’ve done 17 New York marathons, yeah.
Carol: They’d all be special for various reasons, but are there some that stick in your mind?
Peter: Umm the very first one with John Riley because that was my first experience with a person with a disability. And what he went through to finish the marathon and what I went through as his coach, planning the day. We really put some planning into the day, and I carried a backpack ‘cause we knew he was going to be seven hours. It was 100% humidity. Two people died on the course that day through overheat. So I had a backpack on that had extra water bottles ‘cause water stops are a mile apart, but that was a long time for the speed that he was going, so we needed stuff for in between. I had 50g of carbohydrates an hour that I was feeding him, as in bananas and energy bars. But what I didn’t do was feed me. I didn’t think of me. I was like the air hostess, I was busy looking after him but not myself first. And when we got to 32km John had blisters on his hands so big he couldn’t hold his crutches anymore. He couldn’t physically put his hands around his crutch grips. And I thought, yay, we’re going home cause I was ready to pull out. My body was gone. I was mentally shutting down. And John bit the blisters off with his teeth. We put new rubber bungs on the bottom of his crutches ‘cause he’d worn through those and it was bare metal on tar seal. And at that stage there was 20-something athletes with crutches on one leg running the marathon, and he had 5 in front of him and was 15 or 20 minutes behind the first guy – 32Ks. He went on and won by 10 minutes. One, because we were the best-prepared athlete – not coach – there. And when he did the blisters and new rubber bungs it was like putting new shoes on. And him biting the blisters off, just any excuse I had went out the window. And that stands out in memory……and the same like Jared Haumoana taking 21 hours. Jared has cerebral palsy. Walked through the streets of New York for 21 hours with a lady who was supporting him from Hamilton. When he was going through Harlem and the Bronx, the lady that he was with was blonde, and it was not the sort of thing you’d see at two or three or four in the morning in the Bronx and Harlem. And prostitutes were coming up and going ‘What are you doing in our territory, bitch?’ (Laughs) Two policemen saw them in their patrol car, hopped in behind them and drove behind them for… it must have been four or five hours at a really slow pace. And when they got to the finish line it had gone. It was 21 hours. So the police got the emergency tape out, ran ahead and put it across the finish line, and Jared went through he emergency tape. That was a special moment. That put tears in everybody’s eyes. But the one that stands out in memory the most was one year I didn’t do it. A guy called Todd Philpott, who was ex- Mr Australasia bodybuilder champion – and bodybuilders don’t run marathons with two legs, let alone with one. And I explained what Achilles was and what we did and he got the passion for it, trained up, went to New York. But he got a new prosthetic leg a week before, a new titanium carbon fibre. And we said Todd ‘Don’t wear that new leg. Never wear new gear for a marathon.’ But he insisted and he put it on at the start. And I was at the finish that year waiting for the team to come through so we expected he would be 7.5 hours. It took him 13 plus. But we couldn’t communicate. We didn’t know where he was. But what was happening out in the course is within two miles he’d cut his stump open. So the new prosthetic leg had cut into his stump and that was bleeding. At the 21km mark he was hurting so bad that they got a crutch out to take his weight off his stump so he could ease the pain a little bit. He slipped over, dislocated his shoulder. He found a building, relocated his shoulder against the side of a building, but squashed a nerve in the back of it in the process. But he didn’t worry about dislocating it again and re-relocating it, he carried on. And before I get to the end of his story… My team talk, I give a team talk, and hopefully whenever someone takes over from me they’ll give the same or similar team talk is - Failure is not an option. We have body bags. We will take you home. So if you don’t finish this marathon you’ve got two choices – one is to be dead, the other one is to be in an ambulance. ‘Cause that’s the only excuse we will accept. Your disability is not an excuse for failure. Think of all the people that have worked hard to get you to this place now where you’re going to be on a start line tomorrow. You can’t let them down. You’re not here for a shopping trip, you’re here to run the New York City marathon. So if you don’t finish – dead or ambulance. So anyhow, Todd carries on, and he’s carrying on through the streets of New York. 13 hours later he crosses the finish line. And he comes through and we give him a huge hug an put the put the medal round his neck and said ‘Todd, you crazy bugger. You shouldn’t have finished the New York City marathon; you should have gone to hospital.’ And he looked me in the eye and he said ‘Lofty, discipline is less painful than regret.’ That discipline and pushing on through that pain was a damn sight less painful than the regret of not getting the medal. I shut up and just… (Laughs) ..had a tear in my eye. (Voice quavers) There’s too many stories. There’s 270, 280 athletes we’re taken away. There’s some great stories. And a whole lot more to come.
(Sfx in different room)
Carol: Now, this is your first time running this event?
Rob Martin: Yeah, the first time running any event. Yeah, I’m not a runner. (Laughs)
Carol: What do you usually do?
Rob: Hand cycle, yeah.
Carol: So what made you decide to run?
Rob: Um, Peter Loft, basically. I went to New York with a team in 2012 and Hurricane Sandy sort of ruined my chances of racing. I was going to do hand cycling. And I had amazing build-up. Usual story, form of my life - like the fish that got away. But I never got to race. It took a toll on me mentally, probably, and I haven’t raced since. And then spoke to Pete about a new challenge and he said ‘Why don’t you run it?’ So I started doing more mileage on my everyday prosthetic and I rung the limb centre and said ‘That’s pretty hard, you know?’ They said ‘It’s the wrong leg for you. You need a proper running leg.’ So I did a justification and got a blade. Everything was going really well. Within a week of getting it I was running 5.5km nonstop. And then two weeks later my leg broke. I fractured my knee just from the impact of running on the blade and so that ruled me out of Taupo and New York last year. So this is third time lucky. And whilst after Wednesday’s run my leg was left bleeding, and I haven’t really walked on it much since, I don’t want to miss out on three events in a row. It’s starting to get old. (Laughs)
Richard Warwick: My name is Richard. I had a brain bleed when I was 16 and that effectively had a similar impact like a stroke so I was left with paralysis down my left-hand side. But because of my age I got back a level of mobility that allowed me to get around and move about and things, but I’d never been a runner. That’s not something that’s kind of really featured for me until I met Peter Loft from Achilles. Peter just cut to the chase straightaway and said ‘Look, we’re starting a chapter here in Wellington. We want you to be involved. And by the way we’d like you to come and do the New York marathon.’ So I kind of sat there a little bit stunned and said ‘Well, Peter, there’s only one problem with that. And he said ‘What’s that?’ I said to him ‘I can’t run.’ And he just looked at me and said ‘Well, why can’t you run?’ And it did sit me back a little bit. And I suddenly realised that up until this stage in my life I hadn’t had a reason to run. And suddenly Peter was handing me that reason. (Pause) So it’s been quite a meteoric rise from doing no running in 35 years to suddenly signing up and doing the New York marathon. Someone described it, I can’t remember, they said being in the New York marathon is like the population of Invercargill competing with the population of New Zealand watching. So it’s going to be a pretty amazing event. And I’ll just plan towards it and we’ll just work hard to get there. First time up I’m sure it’s going to be a walk-run.
The Kenyans are under no threat from me, by any means. (Laughter)
Carol: What do your family think?
Richard: They’re pretty encouraged, actually. My kids are pretty proud, which is nice. You get to be proud of your kids, but when your kids get to be proud of you that’s pretty cool, too, yeah.
Carol: So tomorrow?
Richard: I’m paired up with Lance Walker. Lance is the CEO of Cigna in New Zealand, and he’s my support runner. And so we’ve begun at a low level, getting out around the bays in Wellington and starting to run. And the bonus is that we’ve become mates.
Carol: The role of guide, Niva – what does a guide do?
Niva: Well, I was approached by Peter two years ago to be a guide/ambassador for Achilles. And at that time I was going through my own journey of discovery of health and fitness. And, through my own admission I wasn’t a runner or a walker or anything. I was heavily overweight and a smoker and a big drinker so I was changing my life for me at the time. Peter heard a bit of my story and he said ‘We’d love you to be a guide and ambassador for Achilles.’ I said ‘That would be great, but what does a guide do?’ He said ‘You would guide a disabled person through the New York marathon. Every November we take a group of athletes. So you would start the marathon with a disabled athlete, and you would finish that marathon with that person.’ And he said ‘So you’re basically there motivating them and you would, over the year, train with them. And it could be anyone throughout New Zealand.’ So even though I was living in Auckland it could have been anyone in Invercargill. But at the time I said to Peter ‘That sounds great in theory, but my biggest problem is I’m not fit enough. I’ve only run one marathon and it took me eight hours.’ And I said ‘And the disabled person would probably be faster than me.’ And he said ‘Look, it’s not about that. It’s not about speed. It’s not competitive.’ He said ‘We’re looking for guides and people who have the patience, who have the personality, to connect with any person. That’s what we want you there for. We don’t want you there for your athleticism.’ And I said ‘OK, well, as long as you know I’m not Kenyan. I say yes!’ Being a guide is very, very special. And it’s remembering to have fun. So a lot of the time I wear costumes.
Carol: I’ve heard about you being a carrot.
Niva: Oh, I’ve been many things, Carol! I’ve been a carrot, I’ve been a card, I’ve been every type of vegetable, every type of animal you can think of. And my goal, too, you’ve got to set yourself short-term goals. And one of my goals, too, with, Achilles, is to put a smile on someone else’s face. And people look at me and say ‘Oh, you’re guiding someone.’ I say ‘Well, in a way they guide me, as well. To be honest, it’s changed my life. It is one of the best things that I’ve ever done.’
Kelly Smith: I’m Kelly and I’ve got immune disease. So I’ve always been a runner and I supported Achilles with donations etc before I got my disease. My immune system is attacking my nervous system. And I’m on medication to control it and I’m in pain. Sometimes when I can run I can run, I’m really good. And other times I’m just bedridden. So life is too short to sit on the sofa the whole time, you know? I’ve done the Wellington half -marathon before, prior to getting sick, and it’s a beautiful day. I love it. So I’m really looking forward to it.
(Gulls squawk. At the waterfront. )
Compere: Welcome again to the Cigna Round the Bays 2015. I’ve got Suzanne here from Cigna with a few little words of encouragement, advice, last-minute motivational tips. We’ll pass it over to her, anyway.
Suzanne: Thank you. Good morning, everyone. (Fades down)
Carol: Good morning.
Peter: Maryanne used to be an ironman athlete. In a waka [she] hit a paddle on her head. Brain bleed. Stroke. Had to learn to walk, talk. Told she would never walk again. Done New York with us twice. She’s doing the half-marathon this morning.
Maryanne, this is Carol from Radio New Zealand.
Carol: Hello, how are you? Nice to meet you.
Maryanne: Good, thankyou.
Peter: If you want to interview here make sure there’s no shops around ‘cause you’ll lose her.
Maryanne: One day I was running the… no, walking the Kerikeri half-marathon a couple of years ago. And a friend of mine said to me ‘Why don’t you fly the flag for us broken-asses and do the New York marathon?’ So he gave my number to Peter. And he rang me and the next year I was in New York. But it was cancelled. We went there and it was Hurricane Sandy. So my sister and I went the next year.
Carol: I’ve been told that it’s a very, very emotional experience.
Maryanne: It was so emotional, it was. When we were at the start line and all these people with all sorts of disabilities, blind, no legs and… I thought ‘Oh, my god.’ And they just had huge smiles on their faces. So ready to go. And when the start gun went off we were just crying, crying to see all these people just so happy to be given a go or just happy to be there. And it was like they had no disability, nothing, yeah.
Carol: Who is the guide here?
Andrew Klein: I’m the guide. This is my wife Vinnie.
Vinnie: Hello, how are you?
Carol: I’m good, good. So are you from Wellington?
Vinnie: Taupo.
Carol: Now you’ve got a wee rope, so can I take it that you’re visually impaired?
Vinnie: Yep.
Carol: So you attach yourself to your husband?
Vinnie: I just sort of loosely hold the rope. Hopefully…
Andrew: We don’t lose each other, yeah.
Vinnie: Don’t trip over anything.
Andrew: Some people look at us and think we’re extremely close ‘cause we run together with a rope.
Vinnie: Very in love. (Laughs)
Carol: One of you is not desperate to go faster than the other?
Vinnie: Yeah, he’s a lot faster than me. (Laughs)
Andrew: No comment. Yeah, it’s definitely a patience thing.
(Both laugh)
Vinnie: (Laughs) That’s nice. That says it all.
Andrew: It tests the marriage. But this would be a nice big run, 15,000 people, I think.
(Change of scene, women laughing)
Rob Martin: They said we’ve got this wool. I said ‘I won’t have time to knit. I’m slow, but I haven’t even got a pattern.’ (Laughs)
Maryanne: His leg is… umm sore, so I thought I’d get some wool and put it on.
Rob: Do you reckon that’s the go?
Maryanne: Yes! We’ve got lanolin. We put in on our feet. The lanolin will be great. It stops friction and it helps protect your feet. So we’ve done all these marathons wearing it. People look at us, but it’s great.
Carol: Oh, it smells like the real thing.
(Laughter)
Woman: It is. It is the real thing. But she took the dags out.
(Laughter)
Rob: If I just focus I won’t drop a stitch.
Man: Yeah, yeah. I know.
Man: Go, Achilles!
Compere: (over loud speaker) Also we’ve got Tawera here from Achilles. Are you all good?
Tawera: (addressing the crowd) Yeah, very good, thanks, mate. As Suzanne said you’ll see a lot of our athletes out there on the track. We’ve got athletes with many different disabilities. Everything from amputees, some of them are tetraplegic, some of them are blind runners. So if you see them out on the track give them a cheer. We’re really privileged to be here. Have a great race and go, Achilles!
(Applause)
Compere: We’ll give you a cheer later out there, as well. Go, Tawera! One minute to go. We’re going to crank a bit of music to get you pumped and into it.
(Music pumps)
Compere: Everyone, run on the spot. Lift it up, lift it up.
Carol: Jaden, tell me about your bike. What sort of a bike is it?
Jaden: Hand cycle.
Carol: And you’re doing the 6.5km today?
Jaden: Yes, I am. It’s going to be fun. I’m going to smoke it. It’s real easy. It’s going to be hard for my guide to catch up.
(Carol laughs)
Carol: And they tell me that you’re one of Achilles’s youngest members.
Jaden: Sadly, I am.
Carol: I think they want other young people to join. Is it a good club to belong to?
Jaden: Yeah, it is. I love how they help young disabled people by keeping them fit and doing all this fun stuff.
Compere: Are we ready?
(Cheering)
Compere: Let’s go. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
(Start gun fires)
Compere: Good luck, go hard. Don’t leave anything out there.
Man: Achilles!
Woman: Go, Achilles!
(Sound of people running past ….fades out)
(At finish line - fade up ….people running)
Man passing: Yeeha!
Announcer on loud speaker: Well done to all runners today. Fantastic effort. We’ve got thousands of runners coming in.
(Lots of chatter in background and music too. People gathering after the race)
Man: This is Tamati.
Carol: Hi, Tamati.
Tamati: Hello, Carol.
Carol: Hi, how are you going?
Tamati: Good, thank you.
Carol: So you’ve just finished by the looks.
Tamati: Yes, I have, actually.
Carol: What distance did you do?
Tamati: I did the 10K.
Carol: Yeah, how did that go?
Tamati: Pretty good. I was the first one back from Achilles for the 10K… we think.
Man: For the Auckland lot, yes, so very proud of him.
Carol: Was it crowded out there?
Tamati: Yeah, yes and no. But the good side was, from a blind point of view, it was good to have the road closed so you can run free and not worry about the traffic or anything like that, from a blind point of view.
Carol: And you were his guide?
Man: I was his guide, yes. And I’m just so proud of him. It’s just brilliant. We’ve come home. I do a lot of running for myself, but working with these chaps is such an inspiration. And to bring him over the finish line today, I think that’s like one of the best runs I’ve done for a long time. I’m just a bit overwhelmed.
Tamati: Same.
Carol: How was that, Jaden?
Jaden: Good.
Carol: Yeah? Are you exhausted?
Jaden: I’m tired, yeah.
Carol: And what about the crowd? Were they getting in your way or not too bad?
Jaden: No, not too bad.
Carol: What was the atmosphere like out there?
Jaden’s Mum: It’s really lovely. Lots of music and people giving away lollies and water.
Carol: You kept up alright with him?
Jaden’s Mum: Just. (Big sigh!)
Carol: How did you get on?
(Laughter)
Vinnie: It was hard. No, it was good.
Andrew: You did well. Real well. You did well, Vin. Really good.
Vinnie: Really nice surface to run on.
Andrew: The weather was really good and it was cool, there was no wind. Really good. I think everyone had a good day.
Carol: How was that? Tough going?
Man: It was great. No, we had fun. We had a lot of fun, racing along, overtaking some people and dodging others. And I had Felicity the hockey trainee young lass. She was chalking a good pace. My wheelchair was going fast enough for her and she thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun, yeah.
Carol: Achilles athletes there at the finish of the Cigna Round the Bays run. We have photos of some of the athletes on our webpage and a link to the Achilles website. I’m Carol Stiles and that was One in Five. We’ll be back at the same time next week with more on the issues and experience of disability.
Until then, ka kite anō.

8:53 War Report 26
The story of a German-born bowler ejected from a Wellington bowling club of which he had along a long-term and respected member. By early March 1915 what was called the Native Contingent, later the Pioneer Maori Battalion, was on its way to Egypt where it arrived on 26th March. But not all Maori soldiers joined that unit – some joined other units fearing the pioneers might miss out on the fighting and there’s at least one who joined the British Army as veteran Remi Morrison recalled – he was Sonny Breeze (Brees) who was after the war well-known as a carver.
When the Maori Contingent arrived in Egypt it undertook garrison duties as had been expected – as the Gallipoli landings approached there were hopes Maori would be part of the force there but by late April garrison duties in Malta became the lot of the Maori Continget. But before long Maori would be at Gallipoli – pakeha officers often spent time
with them – Captain Ray Curtis, a Canterbury machine gunner, talks about Maori at Gallipoli.

9:33 A short feature on early film production in New Zealand 5’09”
The founder of the National Film Unit, Cyril James Morton, is interviewed. Henry Gore of Dunedin is interviewed about his experiences as an early filmmaker.
Dunedin's First Film Maker: Henry Gore, 1882-1967. Like many of New Zealand's early film makers, Henry Gore was a photographer by profession. Gore was involved in running Dunedin's earliest picture theatres. In 1910 he was employed as chief operator at the Plaza, also managing Saturday screenings at Hayward's Pictures in the Burns Hall. During this time Gore began filming local events which were shown within days of being filmed. Travelling to Hollywood in 1916, Gore became one of the first New Zealanders to gain overseas film making experience. He visited movie sets, became friends with Charlie Chaplin and worked in a factory assembling Simplex projectors.
Back in New Zealand he continued to make home movies and local interest and sporting films. He filmed many important local events such as the wreck of the SS Tyrone 1913, the Otago Battalion’s departure for the war in 1914, the 1919 Peace procession and the Prince of Wales visit in 1920. Henry Gore was active in the film industry until his death in July 1967. Most of his surviving films are held at the Film Archive.

Garner Wayne was 1920, he grew up in Canterbury. Each Sunday night in Christchurch there was a variety show, and among the regular acts in about 1935 was a duo from the West Coast called Billy and Buddy. Wayne recalled, “They’d come on stage wearing hats and chaps, singing country songs. I came away from there and said, that’s what I want to be.” Soon Wayne was on the cinema stage himself, singing ‘If I Had A Talking Picture Of You’ during an intermission, and he won two tickets to see the next attraction. In 1995 Wayne said “I’ve always tried to bring New Zealand culture into it. So many Kiwi singers try to imitate the Americans, which annoys me.” For many years he lived in Tinwald, Ashburton, working as a machinist at a knitwear firm. He died in 2007 aged 86.
