This booster's gem was produced by the NFU to mark Canterbury's centennial. The original Canterbury crusaders' dream of a model England colony is shown in settler life re-enactments. The importance of meat and wheat to the region's prosperity is extolled and a progressive narrative — "in one brief century they've turned the wilderness into fertile farms and built their red-roofed homes" — underpins contemporary scenes (cricket, church) and much bucolic (plains, alps) scenery. Trivia: Peter Jackson used an excerpt from the film to open Heavenly Creatures.

My husband was back in Christchurch at the time and texted me saying "are you ok?". I replied, "yes!"...
I didn't even know the bookshelf had fallen on me till later that morning. When I saw the bookcase and books all over the bed, I was glad to be only 5 foot tall or my legs would have been crushed by sturdy books like 'A day in the life of the Soviet Union' and some thumping big art books, or even the cheapo board bookcase with half its shelves...
