Synopsis:

The Rainbow Warriors of Waiheke Island is a documentary about a group of Greenpeace pioneers. Susi, Rien, Martini, Hanne, Henk and Bunny were once part of the crew of the Rainbow Warrior. They saved whales around Iceland and campaigned in the Pacific against nuclear testing. But their adventures came to a tragic end in 1985 when bombs planted by the French Secret Service sank the ship. Photographer Fernando Pereira was killed in this attack. Now, 25 years later, they are living together on Waiheke, a small New Zealand island. Advancing age causes them to make up the balance: have their ideals proven to be tenable, and what has their activist past achieved for the world and for themselves? This film includes archival footage that has never been shown before and brings to life a part of modern history.

A group of Greenpeace pioneers looks back on their activists' life. Once they belonged to the crew of the famous ship Rainbow Warrior and took part in a series of successful actions until a bomb attack put an end to it. Now they are living together on Waiheke, a small New Zealand island. Advancing age causes them to make up the balance: have their ideals proven to be tenable, and what has their activist past achieved for the world and for themselves?
