Background
In WWI, 92 former All Blacks went to war, thirteen of whom died in action. The legacy of the All Blacks, New Zealand’s national rugby team, runs deep within the country’s culture and identity.
The commissioned All Blacks at War documentary brings these thirteen men’s stories to life through military historian Dr. Chris Pugsley, ONZM, and former All Black Andrew Mehrtens, MNZM.
Mehrts travels the Western Front, grave to grave. Along the way, he connects with others who also have connections to these men: be they schools in NZ, former All Blacks playing in France, or a town that was liberated by Kiwi soldiers in WWI and has never forgotten. All Blacks at War can be streamed on Radio NZ and TVNZ+.
