The Pretender (NZ)
National Party candidate and budding politician Dennis Plant didn't have a chance of winning Wakatipu South, the safe seat of the righteous Labour MP and environmentalist Janis Goodhead. That was, until he opened his mouth... Dennis, the straight-shooting Kiwi, quickly becomes the voice of a piece of New Zealand we always knew existed but have never actually seen in person. And young student filmmaker Cassie Young has decided to follow Dennis from the start of the campaign through to the finish.
