An independent film about an ex-Whangarei teacher and her son has gained momentum across the country.
Our Green Roadie is a documentary made by former Whangarei Girls' High School photography teacher Emma Heke and her 7-year-old son Connor.
The pair travelled the country in a van on a tight budget and visited 70 families and businesses living an eco-friendly lifestyle.
What resulted was a feature-length documentary sharing stories from Whangarei to Riverton of ordinary Kiwis with a passion for the environment and green enterprise.
Janine Matchitt of Viola Organics in Whangarei, Rhys Wirihana and Cory Matchitt of Alpha Dog Organics plus Sarah and Mick of Tanelorn just out of Whangarei all made the final cut.
