“Three unemployed teenagers head south in an old Mark II Ford.  “The first telefeature produced by Television New Zealand, MARK II is important in its dramatisation of the lives of young Polynesians in New Zealand.  “Eddie Aranui buys his uncle's restored red and white Mark II Zephyr and heads out of Auckland with Matthew, his cousin and Kingi, their friend, to live out their fantasy of freedom on the road.” - New Zealand Film Commission; www.nzfilm.co.nz/film/mark-ii; retrieved 4/02/2014.
