The story

What Is New Zealand: Earth’s Mythical Islands About?

The premise of New Zealand: Earth’s Mythical Islands without spoilers.

Isolated since dinosaurs, New Zealand’s wildlife evolved untouched, leaving forest predators reminiscent of the Jurassic, and the nation is among the most geologically active. From kiwis laying huge eggs to forest penguins and helicopter‑riding sheepdogs, the film showcases animals and resilient people living in their dramatic, beautiful home.
