Summary: On October 15, 2007, activists around New Zealand woke to guns in their faces. Black-clad police smashed down doors, dragging families onto the roads and detaining some without food or water. In the village of Rūātoki, helicopters hovered while locals were stopped at roadblocks. Operation 8 involved 18 months of surveillance of political activists and culminated in their being accused of attending terrorist training camps in Te Urewera, homeland of the Tūhoe people. Operation 8 asks how and why the raids took place. How did the War on Terror become a global hunt for dissenters reaching even to the South Pacific?
