Hip Hop-eration

Pure SuperGold: celebrates the spirit of Nanas everywhere.

– Helene Wong, in a four star Listener review, September 2014

We may be old, but we're willing to risk a lot.

– One of the hip hoppers in the trailer

My main aim is to give them a massive adventure that they'll never forget . . . nobody would expect senior citizens doing hip hop. And the way for me to give them a big adventure's to take them outside their comfort zone.

– Hip-Operational Dance Crew leader Billie Jordan

I always wanted to die dancing.

So you're all going, even if it's in an urn!

– Dance crew leader Billie Jordan announces that a trip to Las Vegas is on the cards, in the trailer and opening excerpt

[Billie] Jordan's enthusiasm, goofiness and good-natured banter anchor these unlikely stars as she cajoles and sweet-talks them into putting their best foot forward . . . The result is the best kind of doco - -- wafrm, inspirating, insightful and funny. . .

– Metro reviewer Graham Adams in a four star review, October 2014

...one of the most moving, uplifting, life-affirming films that you will see not just this year, but ever.

– Verve writer Jamie Christian, 3 October 2014

It was a no-brainer really. Fantastic characters, a quirky sort of journey. When you go looking for a film, you go looking for those elements. It had Waiheke Island, it had Las Vegas, it had dance, it had music and it screamed 'Make me'!

– Producer Paula Jones in The NZ Herald, 21 September 2014
