Exchange (2005)

Written by Lauren Jackson

Directed by Kerryn Palmer

Break out your lederhousen and moisten your strudel – cos here comes the class of 1994. Five Kiwi kids are about to experience the trip of a lifetime when they take on Germany. How will they cope with the culture shock and the numerous stereotypes?

Is there more to New Zealand than pavlova, All Blacks and buzzy bees?

An OE is as Kiwi as BBQs and gumboots, both writer Lauren Jackson and Director Kerryn Palmer have experienced this rite of passage.
