About Face - A Fitting Tribute

When people tell the amazing story of Kiwi legend Julian Harp, Nicky doesn't get a mention. In what is arguably one of New Zealand's great screen monologues, Nicky (Lucy Sheehan, from Talkback) takes the opportunity to let us in on what really happened: her relationship with Julian, his plan to destabilise the government via a letterwriting campaign, and the couple's preparations for the day he achieved engineless flight and rose into the sky from the Auckland Domain. This episode of anthology series About Face is based on the classic short story by CK Stead, author of Smith's Dream. Read more on the About Face series here.
