TV Drama: Children of Fire Mountain

 

Children of Fire Mountain is a 13-part miniseries set in New Zealand in 1900. It is a children’s drama and portrays the conflict between Maori and white settlers when an Englishman arrives and attempts to build a health spa on Maori land.

This clip from episode two is set in the schoolroom where a boy is caned for being late. Although some of the children react to the beating it seems as if such is a commonplace occurrence.
