'HERBS - Songs of Freedom'
Flicks @ Lopdell bring you 'HERBS-Songs of Freedom' (M) Reggae band 'Herbs' hold a special place in the history of New Zealand pop music, mixing feel-good rhythms with burning social and environmental issues. The original line-up consisted of five musicians from across the Pacific. Their string of hits in the 80s and 90s helped Aotearoa forge a new Pacific identity. For this documentary director Tearepa Kahi (Poi E: The Story of Our Song, Mt Zion) captures the band's reunion, and interviews key members about the protest movement that lit a fire under the group, their chart topping success, and famous collaborations.
"This is an affectionate and respectful film, but also one that knows exactly of what it speaks. In a move that might surprise some, the band's collaboration with Dave Dobbyn – Slice of Heaven, probably still their best-known track in middle-New Zealand – is rightly treated as a footnote to Herbs' actual musical legacy. "
