A bent documentary about a straight lawyer
Directed by Zoe McIntosh
Overview
Genre
Human Rights, Portrait, Arts, Biography, and Social Issues
Synopsis
The Times of London cited barrister Rob Moodie for the most outrageous behaviour by a lawyer in 2006 after he represented himself in the New Zealand High Court dressed as Alice in Wonderland. He’s a straight bloke who likes to wear dresses. To some, he seems a freak, to others he’s a hero. Rob Moodie is an enigma to most. Until now. This film unravels the puzzle of a man who is above all an optimist, and a single minded battler for justice. Moodie’s extraordinary life, career
and personality are examined in a documentary that’s as colourful as its subject matter.
