FILM ON PLUNKET SOCIETY
Production By N.Z. Film Unit . “The Press” Special Service i WELLINGTON. November 12. ; “Margaret will live. She will grow and play in the sun.” is the theme of the National Film Unit film, “Born in New Zealand.” This documentary gives a first-class cinema history of the Plunket Society. Clever filming produces scones from the early work of Sir Truby King and Lady King, and the efforts of the Dominion’s first Plunket nurse to rehabilitate neglected orphanage babies. Filming covers both islands, and the way in which Plunket help reaches mothers in the country is illustrated by shots of nurses travelling on jiggers, launches and planes, as well as by local conventional transport. The training hospitals for Karitane nurses provide a background of interest. A section of the film deals with the means by which branches of the Plunket Society raise their funds and build their centres.
