Radio Dunedin (2017)
A beautiful work celebrating ordinary people and the passions which make them extraordinary.

This is the perfect documentary; original, informative, delicately observed, and full of humour and heart. Ostensibly about the very interesting history of New Zealand's oldest radio station, in Grant Findlay's hands it becomes a beautiful and subtle commentary on identity, stubbornness, loyalty, corporatism, and resistance, as well as the uneasy relationship between the preservation of culture and the preservation of privilege. It's an ode to ordinary people and the passion that makes them extraordinary, and to Dunedin. I learnt, I laughed, I cried, and I left with such love for these characters and the city they have chosen as their home.
