Show Notes
Kiwi icon Lucy Lawless has shifted her focus.
She’s made the move from actor to director – her debut film a documentary about Margaret Moth, an unconventional war correspondent.
The documentary ‘Never Look Away’ premiered at last year’s New Zealand International Film Festival and is coming to Rialto Channel today as a special celebration of International Women’s Day.
Lawless told Jack Tame she was approached by Moth’s best friend to make the documentary, and was immediately swept up by the idea.
“I wrote back immediately, I mean, within 90 seconds, making all these crazy promises,” she told Tame.
“Saying, I will find the money, I will find the producers – the story has to be told.”
