The Waimate Conspiracy

It doesn’t matter how many people know about it. It’s a secret.

It looks like a fly-on-the-wall doco because that's exactly how we made it.

– Writer/director/producer Stefen Harris

a highly entertaining mock documentary which manages to be both exciting and politically pointed . . . an irresistibly enjoyable piece of work that easily transcends its microscopic budget to to make a great contribution to a debate not normally noted for its levity
