	"text": "When Cyclone Gabrielle hit New Zealand, it left a mark on us beyond the physical destruction.  In this series of short films, made with the support of NZ On Air, four directors confront the deeper impact on four of our worst-affected communities - Esk Valley in Hawke’s Bay, State Highway 35 around East Cape, and Muriwai and Te Henga/Bethells Beach on Auckland’s West Coast. Te Henga residents are mourning not just where they live, but a part of who they are, says Anna Marbrook. “We have experienced the land literally falling away under our feet. ”The River Memory director and Te Henga resident uses the term “ecological grief” to explain it. “It’s a loss of a way of life or a loss of something you thought was going to be, but in fact, it’s not going to be like that in the future. ”Te Henga, or Bethells Beach, is a small and tight-knit community of several hundred people on the west coast of the North Island, near Auckland. Residents are still cleaning up following the destruction from Cyclone Gabrielle on the 13th and 14th of February, but the film describes how the damage goes much deeper. Gabrielle has permanently damaged the landscape in which multiple generations have lived, worked, and made memories. The Waitākere river level rose dramatically during the cyclone, leading to the damage and destruction of bridges and houses throughout the settlement. Marbrook said afterwards she could see great open wounds where sections of hillsides had fallen, tracts of the native bush had been ripped out and tonnes of farmland had quite literally slumped. ",
