It’s in cinemas now but only a few cinemas ( only about 4 in the South Island so far, as most won’t touch it) . I travelled 90 mins to see it the other day. Very powerful and moving film. Really should be seen by all NZers, but I suspect most won’t. We have the same denial of the problems and not wanting to discuss the last 3 1/2 years that most places seem to have. But at least those of us who disagreed with the narrative know we’re not alone now ... we’ve found each other, made connections, spoken out... and if the same thing we’re to happen again I suspect the resistance would be much greater.
I was floored to hear him say this. But NZ has always had very high voluntary uptake of vaccines without mandates. The people are overly trusting.
But honestly. There’s only so much woke garbage you can take and I think we see that here. He’s getting fed up, as evidenced by his opening statements on other movies being “rubbish” by comparison.
17% refused the shot entirely. That’s a lot actually. I thought it would be less than 10%.
“I am the 17%!” Everyone should be saying it.
I would have been forced to grow in a big way had I stayed. I’m very introverted. I would have had to connect with likeminded others on the ground to survive.
Sometimes I wonder who I’d have met if I’d stayed there. And I wish it would have been possible for me.

Has he said where he stands politically?
I don’t know. I don’t listen to him any more because he is usually so rude to his interviewees; constantly interrupting and talking over them.
That’s right.
