FINALLY, IT'S HERE! THE NEW DOCO - POISONING PARADISE - RELEASED THIS WEEK.

It's been a mission, no question!
We've had loads of hiccups, including a last minute, mini disaster. That's the nature of the beast.
The master was sent to Auckland for duplication last week, but the name titles were being cut off on wide screen TVs. Pisser!
Back to the computer for a risky.... "lift job"!!!!
The editing computer is like dealing with politicians - promises everything at the face of it....delivers little after the hard drives over.
Anyway, she's finally out this week. 1 hour and 55 minutes of distress, cruelty, horror, ecocide, cover-ups and contamination.
It's a sad story, sure, but if you're a New Zealander, digest this stuff - it's real, it's truth, we're all responsible.
Our traditional resources, foods and people are at increasing risk.
If we continue to ignore it, we run the risk, not only of ecocide, but genocide.

UNTHINKING RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY IS THE GREATEST ENEMY OF TRUTH!

  1. I just saw your documetary in Oamaru I would like to be able to get WSPA on board this issue. As an international movement that is against cruelty to animals that has created sucessful campaigns they have some power for change. Would it be possible to be able to use a short bit of one of your movies for this purpose? If the international community told NZ embassys the world over about this appalling poisoning, this could provide pressuer on our government to control DOC. Our government does not care about our land, people nor our flora and fauna, but does care about money. A threat to the Tourist dollar or to the Milk and beef industry may cause our short sighted, greedy politicians to act. Good luck on your education of the masses. Your documentary tells the truth in a way that will reach most people.

  2. Hi Kathryn. you would be able to use short bits of the film for this purpose, no prob. The only requirement is that there is a link to info on the film, and our website - and also encouragment for people to watch the full length version.

    Let us know what you think. Email - thegrafboys@xtra.co.nz

    All the best.
