River of Freedom

River of Freedom is a feature documentary about Convoy NZ and the Parliament protest for medical freedom in 2022. It tells the story of who the people were, why they were protesting, and what happened. Thank you to our team of independent filmmakers who volunteered their time to document this unprecedented 23-day occupation by human rights activists. Thank you to all the people who shared their stories with us. Thank you to all the thousands of people who donated to help make this film – people-powered filmmaking at its best!

River of Freedom reached #1 in the New Zealand Box Office and was the third most successful New Zealand made film of 2023. It is currently internationally distributed by Journeyman Pictures in London.
