Colin McCahon: I Am
Tracing the life of pioneering artist Colin McCahon, examining the New Zealand cultural context that influenced and inspired his work and his artistic development, this fascinating documentary is a story of single-minded obsession ultimately tinged with sadness, as it was only after his death that McCahon's work was fully appreciated by a wider audience.
