Last week we learned that the New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) is putting $800,000 of taxpayers’ money towards a documentary called Jacindamania about former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
Apparently $3.2m is needed for the documentary and the commission says it’s had “significant” international and local investment, without naming the mysterious investors. Chief executive Annie Murray told the NZ Herald she was confident the film would be a success, due to the “level of third-party investment” and that “sales estimates for the film were strong”!
