West of Eden
Film (Trailer and Excerpts) – 2016
I really felt it was important that this story was told, for New Zealand, because I don’t think we’ve really got a lot of films here in New Zealand that have been made about a homosexual relationship. Certainly not in the 1960s.– Vanessa Riddell on West of Eden, on website Gay NZ, 29 September 2015
