Description
Adventuring in the great outdoors is part of New Zealand culture, but what happened 10 years ago shook the country to its core. A group of excited children and their teachers embarked on a trip to a volcanic plateau for a confidence-boosting, team-building exercise promoting environmental awareness. No one would have predicted that a multitude of factors would collide together resulting in the deaths of seven – faulty technology, an extreme weather pattern about to hit after an unusually dry summer, instructor inexperience, distracted staff and a lack of training.
This drama remembers what happened that fateful day – a cruel twist of fate, a tragic loss of young lives that should never have come about. But out of this tragedy has come an inspiring story of bravery and human resilience.
