I am stunned that the New Zealand government is actually saying that human rights should not apply in cases involving secrecy. Call me kooky, but I believe that government secrecy in a democracy is anathema. But anyway.
V for Vendetta is a comic book by Alan Moore & David Lloyd. Speaking broadly, it's about anarchy and its hero is a terrorist fighting against a corrupt British state that controls its population through propaganda and totalitarian measures.
Obviously, it's very relevant to today's world. It would also seem to be a ballsy move to film it, but it's happening. Here's hoping it isn't being totally defanged.
