War Stories Our Mothers Never Told Us (1996)
Seven New Zealand women speak about their lives during World War II: some lost husbands, some got married, some went into service themselves. The director lets the women tell their stories simply, alternating between them talking and archival footage of the war years.
Director: Gaylene Preston
