The documentary also talks about the New Zealand Division’s contribution to WWI previous to Le Quesnoy, and tells the personal stories of soldiers who were at Le Quesnoy through their descendants.

Filmed at the centenary in Nov 2018, this is the story of the daring liberation of a small French village by New Zealand soldiers, in the last week of WW1, and the aroha the village still has for New Zealand. A lovely human story, with a sneaky history lesson just for good measure.
