- Living the Change explores solutions to the global crises we face today through the inspiring stories of people pioneering change in their own lives and in their communities in order to live in a sustainable and regenerative way.
- Fools and Dreamers tells the story of Hinewai Nature Reserve and its kaitiaki/manager of 30 years, botanist Hugh Wilson. We learn about the commitment of Hugh and the Maurice White Native Forest Trust to regenerate marginal, hilly farmland into native forest, using a minimal interference method that allows nature to do the work, giving life to over 1500 hectares of native forest, waterways, and the creatures that live within them. When, in 1987, Hugh let the local community know about his plans to allow gorse to grow as a nurse canopy for self-sown native trees, the response was sceptical at best and outright angry and disparaging for the most part - one farmer stating the plan was the sort to be expected only of "fools and dreamers". Now considered a local hero by town and country folk alike, Hugh's home at Hinewai overlooks a valley resplendent in native forest canopy, where birds and other wildlife are abundant and 47 known waterfalls are in permanent flow. An inspiring, charismatic personality, Hugh's passion and enthusiasm for his life's project come through in every sentence he speaks. A dreamer who has made his dream come true, Hugh has proven without doubt that nature knows best - and that he is no fool.
- Together We Grow tells the inspiring story of Common Unity Project Aotearoa. Introducing a thriving hub helping to build resilience into its local community by growing, sewing, repairing, sharing - you name it, Common Unity is doing it.
