Goodbye To Paradise

Jim Veint has spent his whole life in Paradise. It’s a real place, just an hour from Queenstown.

This is the location of Arcadia Station, Jim’s stunning 257-hectare farm and homestead. It’s been the backdrop for big-budget movies like “The Hobbit” and “Wolverine”. And its scenery has delighted tourists for more than a century.

But now, Jim faces a dilemma. At 82, he can no longer run the station. Will he be able to say goodbye to the place he loves the most?
