Michael King: History Man

"History Man" takes a journey through the life and work of New Zealand's most popular historian, Michael King. With a career that spanned more than three decades and books that strengthened a nation with its history, at the time of his death in 2004 Michael King was one of New Zealand's most beloved writers. This feature-length documentary follows in the steps of Michael King on a journey through his own past - to childhood places where the sense of New Zealand and his own New Zealand-ness first struck him, the places his work steered him, and some of the characters he met along the way. Written and produced by Colin Hogg.
