Synopsis

Stewart Main talks to artist Pat Hanly (1932-2004) about his life as painter and activist. Interviewed at his Mt Eden home, Hanly discusses his painting career and inspirations - both political and personal. Also interviewed are his wife Gil, who supported him personally and financially, and children Ben and Tamsin (Amber, the result of an affair, also appears). Like his work, Hanly is ebullient, energetic and articulate; at one point he remarks: "We are awaiting death with interested anticipation. Some of my best friends are dead."
