The decision not to grant her a visa is at best absurd and at worst incompetent and ignorant

This is outright xenophobia. She is living in the US how many people living in the US are escaping to NZ? This is bad publicity our nascent film industry does NOT need...

Please grant her a visitor's visa. Her attendance can be recorded and will be a valuable experience to all.

She's been in Australia and the Us for heaven's sake - the centres of immigration paranoia - and New Zealand turns her down? Get some humanity.

Disappointing decision. An urgent review of why this film maker was declined a Visa needs to be undertaken.

She is an artist and a human rights activist what do you gain by publicly keeping her out of New Zealand?
