Mission Impossible: High Country Farming

Iris Scott is a New Zealand legend, running an enormous mountain farm that doubles up as a Hollywood film set.

Farming New Zealand's high country takes grit, determination and self-possession- qualities that Iris and Kate Scott share with a recent visitor, Tom Cruise. Filming the latest instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise, Cruise flew in to shoot death-defying stunts amid the stunning scenery of the Southern Alps and Lake Wakatipu.

Nancy Nicolson has been to meet the Scott family - Kate and her mother Iris - on Rees Valley Station where cattle and sheep share the land with Hollywood film crews.
