Sam Hunt: Purple Balloon and Other Stories
For forty years Sam Hunt has been a force in New Zealand poetry and culture. He is a storyteller who has spent his life struggling with his, often very public, demons. In that journey he has gone from outcast to icon, he has crossed paths with outlaws, Prime Ministers, literary and artistic giants and the public. This documentary explores how Sam reflects the New Zealand landscape - literary and physical. The film examines what has made him a great poet and an enigma.
