In a Land of Plenty

Film (Full Length) – 2002

Add to watch list

The tagline for this feature-length dictionary runs "The story of unemployment in New Zealand" and In A Land of Plenty is an exploration of just that; it takes as its starting point the consensus from The Depression onwards that Godzone economic policy should focus on achieving full employment, and explores how much this changed under the 1984 Labour government. Director Alister Barry's perspective is clear, as he trains a humanist lens on Rogernomics to argue for the policy's negative effects on society, "as a new poverty-stricken underclass developed".
