Fire and Fury is unquestionably well made — the riot on the last day of the Camp Freedom protest at Parliament has never been more graphically captured. Photo: Getty ImagesI didn’t intend to watch Stuff’s documentary Fire and Fury, but after reading Stuff columnist Jenny Nicholls’ gushing review (headlined "Fire and Fury documentary shows journalism at the peak of its powers"), I felt compelled to. The one-hour doco, which describes itself as "an investigation into disinformation in Aotearoa New Zealand", got a wholly uncritical tick from its in-house reviewer. The editing is slick, the photography is first-class (the riot on the last day of the Camp Freedom protest at Parliament has never been more graphically captured) and the music is suitably dark and ominous. The documentary makers preferred to get the truth, or at least their version of it, from approved voices of the left-wing establishment.
