Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at anyone who loves a strong drama. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A Kafkaesque docudrama of an actual case involving a Christchurch small businessman and the New Zealand Inland Revenue Department. Most people can relate to running up against a bureaucrat (especially the tax man), who knows he can cause you trouble if you say something he doesn't like and then proceeds to use his power to hurt you. In this case, the businessman, Dave Henderson refuses to give in and, for the most part, kept his sense of humour.
