Yesterday marked nine years since the devastating Christchurch earthquake that killed 185 people and left thousands injured.

Over the last nine years, many sad, tragic stories of that day have been shared, but a new documentary set to air tonight has focused on one of the relatively untold good news stories of the quake.

That is the story of the 36 people rescued from high up in the damaged 26 storey Hotel Grand Chancellor building. 

Up until know, few details of the rescue have emerged but tonight Help Is On The Way airs on Prime TV sharing the story of the team of rescuers

One of the rescuers that day was, now retired, Sergeant Dave Harvey, is featured in the documentary, and joined Andrew Dickens to discuss the film that is inspired by what he said and did when he arrived at the hotel.
