Documentary highlights quality of Tasman water

September 17th, 2016

A high-quality documentary about the health of Tasman District rivers and the people caring for them is available for viewing on TDC's website and YouTube.

"Our Waters in Common" is a movie that examines the amazing things that rivers provide us, the issues they face, and how communities and agencies are working together to improve them.

Riding on the back of a big water quality reporting effort, the 37-minute movie was a year in the making and was helped by a huge volunteer effort. The effective use of drone cameras adds to the viewing experience.

The beauty and diversity of the district's rivers shines through and the stories of so many good people working to improve our rivers' health are warmly and poignantly portrayed.

The documentary makers say that with such a wonderful community in Tasman looking after our rivers, it is hard not to be encouraged.

While you are bound to learn lots, the film presents the information in a very engaging and easily-understood way.

What an excellent documentary bringing together the diversity of people benefiting from our waterways and illustrating the common ground. I learnt lots through this doco. What a great initiative.
