Screentime New Zealand for TVNZ
The First Responders operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. New Zealand averages 870,000 calls for urgent help every year and as soon as that call comes in, the race against time to save a life begins.
Using state of the art rigging, high definition cameras have been positioned in every corner of the rescue helicopters, ambulances, boats and on the first responders themselves. No angle of a rescue is left uncovered whether it happens in the air, on the water, in rugged terrain or in the remotest of locations.
Experience first-hand the drama, tension and the high-stakes decision-making from the perspective of those who lived it.
