| Description: | The 2005 discovery of a cannonball buried for 138 years in a paddock throws Waimate into turmoil. ItÕs all the Maori locals need to confirm their long-held belief that they were forcibly removed from their tribal lands in a bloody battle in 1866. The hotly contested claim eventually ends up in the District Court and on the lens of cameraman Dave who captures all the townspeopleÕs arguments, frauds and forgeries in a cinema veritˇ style. This "mockumentary" is director Stefen Lewis' first feature. |
