John Bates

John Bates is a documentary director, whose low profile and natural modesty belies his talent. His award-winning documentaries include iconic New Zealand people and events as their subjects (1951, Sense of Place: Robin Morrison Photographer).

Working on student radio, I quite liked being able to have a real say (as opposed to grumbling around the dinner table).
