 Synopsis

A documentary about acclaimed New Zealand children and young adults writer Margaret Mahy. The film takes a line from her award-winning story The Changeover –  “[… ] made in New Zealand, it said, Wisdom Laboratories, Paraparaumu” – and uses it to talk about the importance of New Zealand settings, her international successes, and her life as a writer. Mahy is filmed at her home in Governor’s Bay, speaking to children in her famous rainbow wig, and out and about on Akaroa Peninsula.
