Poll: Should we ban gangs?
Stuff movie reviewer Greame Tuckett loved Savage and suggested it is a film all New Zealanders should see.
"Savage is, in its best moments, a stunning achievement. And it is never less than heartfelt and engaging. Very recommended."
Directed by Sam Kelly, it takes a look at the life of gang leader Moses. Set in Wellington in the 1980s, Kelly suggests that we can trace the emergence of gangs in New Zealand to institutions like the Epuni Boys Home in Lower Hutt, where physical and sexual abuse was rife.
Tuckett was particularly impressed by the way Savage gets "behind the masks of gang life and talked to the lost boys and mutilated men" in gangs throughout New Zealand.
One of the highlights was the performance of James Matamua, who was discovered in a Upper Hutt boxing gym.
The movie will inevitably raises questions about attitudes to gangs and whether politicians should take a tougher approach. Tell us what you think?
