  • The clan of the kakapo (5:43)

Here's an extraordinary story of a unique Kiwi family.

For years Scott Mouat has been documenting their lives. He's been there for the big occasions, the new arrivals and the intimate moments.

Numbering 124 this is a family like no other - it is the clan of the kakapo.

Their life story would make a great reality show but Mouat has instead produced a stunning documentary like no other.
