The Garden of Evil
THU 4 NOV
Coming Soon to
Victoria Theatre & Cinema Devonport
On 5 December 2001, New Zealand sports icon Sir Peter Blake was shot dead on his boat, Seamaster, on Brazil’s Amazon River. Twenty years later, New Zealand director Larry Keating investigated who was really behind the ominous order to kill Blake — as well as many other attacks on conservationists, including the near-fatal stabbing of Kiwi eco-warrior Pete Bethune. Joined by renowned Irish investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre, the crew travels to Brazil to try to uncover what happened. The Garden of Evil won Jacob Bryant the Best New Zealand Cinematography Award at the 2021 Doc Edge Film Festival.
As a tribute to a great New Zealander, the script and rich content of the Garden of Evil are a tribute to an iconic New Zealander and to a new breed of eco warrior through their environmental endeavours and their strong message on how important the Amazon rain forest is to the world at large.
To quote the late Sir Peter Blake:“When the oxygen from one in every five breaths we all take, is from the Amazon rainforest, we all need to care.”
