"Explores the rise of violent online extremism and hatred in NZ while covering Dame Jacinda Aderns leadership.
There's a few of those extremists on here notably blubbermouth Balance,hope it gets the full treatment and is capable of finding a heart buried under its mendacity and learning to be a human again.Not holding my breath though.
The spike in civil unrest, conflict, division & upheaval happened everywhere around the world, during the Global Covid Pandemic, & will always be associated with those years, not just here in NZ.
Ive often talked about the history of pandemics because if you look back, history is full of examples of pandemics being the incubators of social unrest & conflict from the Black Death, to Spanish Flu, Yellow Fever, the Cholera outbreak in Paris immortalised in Les Miserables, the Cholera outbreak in Naples etc.
Like everywhere else, we eventually ended up just following the same exhausting pattern.
Covid ripped open economic & social divides & made life harder for vulnerable people everywhere around the world.
BUT, NZ having one of the lowest death rates in the whole world, will forever be associated with Jacinda Ardern's leadership, and that is something quite remarkable & outstanding.
To many, she lead with an extraordinary combination of compassion & empathy with a steely resolve, while other politicians swung recklessly in the breeze.
As this once in 100 year crisis unfolded, she listened to & followed the advice of the best Public Health Specialists & Epidemiologists & scientists knowledge at the time. What could be more important.
Im one of literally many many thousands, who would not be alive today if National, NZF or ACT had been in government prioritising votes & their own interests over science & the cost in human lives.
Hopefully with time & distance you & others will be able to look back at this period with some perspective, and see that the social division, unrest & extremism is simply a consequence of most pandemics everywhere, and wasn't something unique to NZ.
It was the most difficult & exhausting time to be a leader anywhere in the world & esp when faced with the ugly mysoginy she had to put up with as well.

Ardern's leadership will forever be remembered as one of deceit, divisiveness, incompetence, self-interest, wastefulness and total lack of delivery.

I guess you won't be watching to see how your 800,000 dollars was spent - although I think in NZ it will be on TV. You might have to go abroad to catch it on the big screen.

LOL - I read that and thought, here we go - straight to You Tube after a few viewings for 'free' viewing.
Ardern & the docu-maker reckon she is still popular and has currency after ever more of her misdeeds and deceitful ways are being revealed each day.
Notice she does not dare to show her hypocrisy ladened face in NZ these days?
There's a Gayford bloke who makes a doco or two.
Will he have any input, or does he have a jaundiced view of the inside story?...
