Legio II Augusta:
A Passion For History
 
A 27 minute documentary about the Second Legion Augusta, a Roman reenactment group based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Filmed throughout 2006, and early 2007, Legio II Augusta: A Passion For History profiles this active Roman reenactment group through interviews, footage of public displays, training sessions & combat events. The men and women of this club,along with all reenactors in general, share a common goal - to keep a remnant of the past alive by learning and practising the skills, arts & crafts of earlier cultures.

We'd like to take the opportunity here to thank the men and women of the Second Legion Augusta, and all the other local reenactment groups who appear in our film - both for their patience as we followed them around with a camera, but more importantly for putting their faith and trust in us. Without that, we couldn't have had a film. Thanks guys, for making it possible to turn this idea into a reality. It's as much your film as it is ours. -- Mike Hansen & Tina Helg.
