Annie Goldson, NZOM, is probably New Zealand's most awarded documentary filmmaker. Her work — including feature-length docos Punitive Damage, An Island Calling, and Brother Number One — often examines the political through the personal. Goldson's films have played widely overseas, and won awards in NZ, Spain, France, the Philippines and the United States.
The trick in documentary it seems to me is how to provide historical context without oversimplification of history, while sustaining the narrative momentum of the personal story.
– Annie Goldson, to Listener writer David Larsen
