The film includes archival, and footage shot over the last four years. The material is intimate and close - Poems shot on 35mm film to camera punctuate the story telling. The film also includes interviews with leading New Zealand artists,critics and poets. Sam's older brothers also offer insights as well as Sam's eldest son.
