As part of our drive to keep our comment section the best in New Zealand we showcase each week an example of a top-notch comment that adds value to The BFD.

Today’s comment was written by Luna Thank you Luna for taking the time to craft such an interesting comment.


We have a motive, I mean agenda, sorry, proposal for the Jacinda Documentary.
From the NZ Film Commission:

“It is important to note this is not a biopic. Rather, the documentary explores the rise of violent extremism and online hate in New Zealand, following Jacinda Ardern’s leadership trajectory as an example of how these forces played out through one of the most tumultuous periods in modern times. The documentary records a period of New Zealand’s history.

The documentary proposal described it as “a social excavation of the rise and fall of the young female leader, Jacinda Ardern, exploring how the mania that propelled her rise later collided with a backlash of hate, told through a bold mash-up of media and peer archive”.

An opportunity to re-write history, smear regular Kiwis ie “right-wingers,” protestors, farmers, “anti-vaxxers” etc and garner support for the Dame of Death and Injury, and the Christchurch Call.
“A bold mash up of media…” Great, an $800,000 propaganda hit piece is on its way…
Pretty much what we expected then.
