New Zealand’s National Film Unit presents 'Airborne' (1981)
Yesterday the deer were hunted; tomorrow they will be farmed; today they are sought as breeding stock by helicopter-borne deer hunters. Filmed in the remote depths of New Zealand's Fiordland National Park, "Airborne" explores the rugged, inaccessible country where the deer can be found. It contains thrilling sequences of low-level flight over spectacularly beautiful unexplored terrain, and culminates in the excitement of a live deer capture. No commentary.
