Following Alexis West is a documentary film which examines the effect of New Zealand’s switch to a proportional representation system has had on its politics and culture since 1996.
Creative Commons is great for indies like me because we can still make what money off of our work there is to be made – while not denying other people the ability to spread it around and make use of it for non-profit purposes, without requiring meetings with lawyers. — Brian Boyko, Producer, Following Alexis West
