From the artist:
Following one’s passion is crucial. When ignored, it creates an extensive toll on the mind. The surrounding forest animals ridicule the Man in this claymation. Distraught, he walks around, only to be shown what his heart and soul truly crave. Finally unable to ignore his passion, he succumbs.

What brings you joy? For me its the small things in life. My friends and family as well as the nature around me!! Memories is another thing that brings me joy.

This video is about Strong Women.

It is for the Kate Edgar Educational Charitable Trust competition.

As a year 13 female students I have had the wonderful opportunity to share my views in response to the following question: “What does the Suffrage Movement mean to you: your family; your whānau; your identity?”

For me the suffrage movement has meant I have autonomy over my life and my friends over theirs. This song is called Strong Women. The women in this video all embody strength and their right to choose Lyrics My choice my voice, and my families

Getting over boy/girl disparities

Though not quite there, got some equality

Power of v-o-t-e

My friends and I build our identities

Can fight for the me that I want to be

Without their fight where would I be

Power of v-o-t-e

Strong women

We are strong women

Born of strong women

We are strong

Be 18 in a couple months

Ready to use what you gave us

Follow my dreams to what needs must

Legacy of women here strong I can have my own home

Go to work be in the zone I can follow my dreams

Coz I have the right to vote

Kyla Sherbanowski – Bay of Islands College

I was wanting to create notice of the Maaori wahine that fought for the rights of not only our wahine but our nation. Carving a passage for us to follow, creating opportunities for us to strive for, to create the people we are today.

Jesslyn Woo – Epsom Girls Grammar School

My family migrated to New Zealand 13 years ago. I wrote this short song based on what I would remind myself of in the future- the opportunities my family have here in New Zealand and how it’s been shaped by powerful people and events like the womens suffrage.
