For forty years Sam Hunt has been a force in New Zealand poetry and culture. He is a storyteller who has spent his life struggling with his, often very public, demons. In that journey he has gone from outcast to icon, he has crossed paths with outlaws, Prime Ministers, literary and artistic giants and the public.

'Sam Hunt – Purple Balloon and other stories' is a biographical documentary that also explores how Sam reflects the New Zealand landscape – literary and physical. The film examines what has made him a great poet and an enigma.

To celebrate the Wellington opening of this film, Sam Hunt will be in person to perform some poetry and answer any questions the film may bring up.
