Description

'The Hollows Boys' is the story of the helicopter deer recovery era in Fiordland, told through the lives of three brothers, Gary, Mark and Kim Hollows. There is the usual dare-devil boys own adventure side of the story. There is extreme competition between pilots and huge sums of money at stake. But there is also the strange phenomenon of luck, the roll of the dice, the gamble on survival. Ultimately, there is the overwhelming cost not simply wrecked machines and insurance bills, but the loss of a brother, a friend, a father or a son. And there is the legacy from that loss that many continue to endure.
'The Hollows Boys' is the real story of an extraordinary era in New Zealand history that will never be repeated, told with honesty and courage, against the magnificent backdrop of Fiordland National Park.
