  • Hard News: Hope and Wire,

    For me the worst thing about Hope and Wire was opening with skinheads.
    Christchurch hasn't been a skinhead centre since the late 80s and I personally get really annoyed when people trot out this misconception about the city.
    Then to see it in the first minute of Hope and Wire - how can I trust a director to tell any story with honesty and integrity when the first thing she does is get it wrong? All she needed to do was ask someone from Christchurch. There's lots of us around.
    My friends and I have had many laughs at the expense of this production.
