Now in her eighties, Kidman has published more than 30 books of fiction, poetry and memoir and received a host accolades, both here and abroad.
Through the film, we’re shown Kidman's life lived with conviction and courage. From precocious beginnings in rural Northland to Kidman's involvement with the New Zealand Women’s Liberation Movement. She has always been propelled by her sense of the power of words to inspire and bring about change.
"In her storytelling and in her compassionate, gutsy, tough expression of female experience, Kidman is the best we have." - New Zealand Listener

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:

59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
