The Stories of Ruapekapeka, a documentary highlighting Northland's most infamous armed conflict, is hosted by RNZ's Maori Issues Correspondent Mihingarangi Forbes, and was made alongside Great Southern Television with funding from NZ on Air. It coincides with commemorations of the New Zealand Wars. Animation Research Limited created several animations spread throughout the documentary that visualized the Ruapekapeka forest, the British encampments and Ruapekapeka Pa as they were in 1845 - as well as producing a 360° interactive web app for the RNZ website.
