Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale

Bringing Murray Ball's Footrot Flats to the big screen, this feature embraces New Zealand's beloved local comic strip and follows a cast of cherished characters as it poses a series of questions: Will Wal Footrot win the heart of Cheeky Hobson over the scheming Spit Murphy? Will the Dog win the heart of the lovely Jess? Will Wal make a positive impression on the selectors at Saturday's rugby match? Can Rangi and Pongo rescue Cooch's prize stag from the perilous Blackwater Station, the Murphys' domain, famed for their vicious dogs and deadly croco-pigs? All this—and more—as the small town of Raupo stirs to life on the big screen.
