Open Door - The Papermakers

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2010

Open Door is a community-based TV series where groups or individuals make a documentary about an issue that concerns them. This episode is about The Papermill - a charitable organisation based near Whangarei, where artists with intellectual disabilities create decorative paper products. Papermill Creative Director Trees van Ruth, along with parents of the disabled artists, and the artists themselves talk about this thriving small business and tourist attraction, and stress the positive impact it has on the self-esteem of its workers.

We’re not a babysitting service. We really want to see them grow and be the best that they can be.
– Papermill Creative Director Trees van Ruth
