The HeART of the Matter (2016) looks at major changes in New Zealand teaching which began after World War ll. A group of bureaucrats and arts specialists set about introducing a “thoroughly bicultural and arts-centred education system” to schools — in contrast to the rote learning of the past. Combining interviews and archival footage, Luit and Jan Bieringa (The Man in the Hat) examine this period of radical educational reform, and ask what lessons can be applied to the present.
Directed by Luit Bieringa
Produced by Jan Bieringa
