Given our status as a tiny Pacific nation, with an independent foreign policy, the film asks why we got involved. Were we being good global citizens or were we attempting to realign ourselves with the US given the past strains due to our anti-nuclear policy? We also explore the limitations of our embedded media coverage which was not just scarce but closely followed our Government's position that our role was largely humanitarian. Finally, the film reflects on indigenous issues and some of the conflicts Maori soldiers felt about participating in what increasingly appeared to be an occupation. Written by Anonymous See less
