The past six weeks have flown by since we sent out our first newsletter, and we are excited to have a moment to bring you another update!
|
Our marketing team is firing up! 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 whanau. An excellent tool for sparking conversations about the film!

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!!
