An international bee related scam and a love letter to poet Hone Tuwhare from his granddaughter through to the dilemma of whether or not to be tested to see if you have inherited a fatal disease – some of the thought provoking stories told in this year’s Loading Docs season of ultra short documentaries. This is the 8th year the Loading Docs has offered an outlet for short-form documentary makers and audiences
This year’s theme is Tūmanako - Hope. Last year’s Covid-19 lockdown is believed to be the reason for a change of perspective – rather than making observational films about other people, many of this year’s season are very personal. Julia Parnell is the Loading Docs founder & Executive Producer and she joins Lynn to talk about the projects.
