A warts-and-all tribute to one of the country’s best-known, best-loved and most colourful literary figures. In a tiny house in the South Otago settlement of Kaka Point where he wrote prolifically,
Hone Tuwhare allowed a film crew to observe him at home, and travelling the country reading his work. The result is a punchy portrait of a remarkable poet and a great New Zealand character.
Following the film, join Director Dame Gaylene Preston for a Q&A session.
A rare screening of the life and art of late poet laureate Hone Tuwhare (1922-2008) by an extraordinary Kiwi filmmaker.
