Hard Truths
In the era of post-truth editorialising and 'alternative facts', it's easier than ever to distort reality to further an agenda. But where does this leave documentaries?

For one session only, join documentary-makers Gaylene Preston (My Year With Helen), Annie Goldson (Kim Dotcom: Caught in the Web), Tearepa Kahi (Poi E) and Paul Oremland (100 Men) as they dissect their relationships and responsibilities to the truth, and examine the uncharted waters they've navigated in their work.
