 Synopsis

A wry tribute to sheep in NZ culture. Thoughtful but humorous interviews with David Geary, Chris Knox, Dick Frizell and Michael Parekowhai pull the wool away from our collective eyes and examine NZ's much-ridiculed relationship with sheep. Ovine artists' images, souvenirs, pets, shows for tourists, and songs and plays feature. The doco also examines their foundational role in the country's economy. This was one of the first documentaries made by Greenstone Pictures, which has gone on to become one of NZ's top TV production houses.
