Someone else's country

A must see for every New Zealander, and a classic example of how to re-arrange a country's economy to suit the elites. If you listen to (and if you can, see) this film ... you may find why laws are made in YOUR country.

For example, David Caygill, one of the executors of the new right policies, that did the selling the people-owned resources to undemocratic transnational companies. Forests, shipping, medical, telecom, trains, water, public transport ... all sold off. Now David Caygill has it sweet. He is a partner in a high-power law firm, helping with tax-fraud etc. But he also chairs the board (gets a big salary for meetings) of the ACC, New Zealand's (still) state-owned "accident compensation corporation". At the same time he leads the health-services team at that law-firm, Buddle-Findlay.

Nepotism, conspiracy against the people.

The following is the sound-track (from a VHS copy)

The third part

You need the TOOLVOX player from the Audio Tools page. TOOLVOX is a very very highly compressed audio format, you get just under 2 hours of soundtrack for downloading 11 minutes of TOOLVOX.... absolutely THE BEST compressed audio format.

The following pictures are to give you an idea of who is saying what in the film. They are in chronoligical order, but sorry I haven't found or devised a system for a synchronised slide-show yet.
