You’ve heard of Manapōuri as the backdrop of Aotearoa’s biggest, most iconic environmental protest — but there’s another side to the story. Rosemary Baird’s The Middle of Nowhere: Stories from the Manapōuri Hydro Project uncovers the powerful history of those who lived through extreme and punishing conditions to help build it. Hear about those human stories, in conversation with Liz Grant.
With support from University of Canterbury Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha.
