| Description |
Freely adapted from the book My Life by Avis Hunter, it is not so much a biography in the narrative sense as a compilation of memories extended and brought to life through a collaboration of talents…. We follow Avis through the processes of adoption, rejection and institutionalisation. Familiar landmarks like Seacliff asylum, Cherry Farm and even Cargill's castle gave a sense of real location making a distinctly 'Otago' story. |
