Hear the incredible stories of the people who built our nation from the ground up. Tonight's focus is road development, from rough early routes to multi-billion dollar motorway projects of today. Making New Zealand tells the incredible stories of the men and women who built our nation from the ground up. At its heart, it is the compelling tale of the blood, guts and glory it has taken to build our major infrastructure projects and communication networks: massive hydroelectric dams and power schemes; railways; roads and bridges; and ports and shipping. The stories acknowledge and celebrate those who took on the big challenges in a raw, remote country, and whose vision, ingenuity and hard work transformed the lives of many and created a modern-day nation. Each episode contains a captivating mix of present–day interviews and visuals, archive footage and stills, historical audio recordings, and enhanced graphics.
