Synopsis by Rebecca Flint Marx
This is a documentary about Bruno Lawrence, one of New Zealand's wildest and most intriguing entertainers. Lawrence, who died of cancer in 1995 at the age of 50, came to prominence as one of a group of anarchic actors and musicians who brought their message to the public via television in the mid-1970s. An actor and musician, Lawrence was a major figure on both the film and counter culture scenes, and he left a legacy that influenced countless Kiwis and Australians. Through 30 years-worth of personal and public footage, this documentary tries to capture this legacy, and the man behind it.
