| CONGRATULATIONS TO SAM & ALISTAIR The River of Freedom team would like to congratulate Samantha Blanchard (Silenced) and Alistair Harding (We Came Here For Freedom) for outstanding work in getting their films released. Making an independent documentary film is challenging at any time, however with “unapproved” topics such as ours, it is even more difficult. We need as many creative endeavours as possible to keep the voices of freedom alive. Well done!! “A nation can’t solve what the press won’t let it perceive.” — Julian Assange. Silenced – a documentary film by Samantha Blanchard, Candlelight Productions NZ Broadcaster Peter Williams, self-deregistered GP of 40 years Dr. Anne O’Reilly, and freelance sociologist Jodie Bruning share their perspectives on how New Zealand’s freedom of speech in media, medicine, and academia was impacted by suppression over the last three years.

A marketing strategy has been initiated in preparation for the film’s release. An important part of this strategy is getting our film posters and flyers prepared and printed, ready for distribution to our neighbours, friends, and whānau. An excellent tool for sparking conversations about the film! We want to thank you all for joining us on this journey. Marketing and distribution is a mammoth job, requiring funds we don’t yet have! This is an urgent request for help! |
