Hidden Gems

This story and film are not new to audiences in New Zealand, and nor are the players.  However the Bannockburn Arts Charitable Trust are in a position to offer you a new take on this old film, a Director’s Cut that includes footage never seen before.  Scenes that give a new dimension to the courage and skills of the drivers in a turbulent river that seems determined to allow no one through.

The grandeur of the great river Ganges, the enthusiasm of the Indian people, the beauty of the sailing Dows that are no more, replaced by motors that have nothing of their serenity, this film takes us back to a simpler time and shows us a journey of great contrasts and vitality.

Screening on Saturday 15th August 2026, 7.00 pm, at the Bannockburn Hall.  Adults $20.00, Children 12 and under $10.00

In addition, a short slide show in honour of Murray Jones, past resident of Bannockburn and one of NZ's greatest alpinists.
