Reference: DCDL-0024225

Description: Shows an Academy Award wearing a blindfold, with the words, 'Embargo, Best Picture withholding the truth' and 'There's a fraction too much fiction'. Refers to the film, Argo, directed by Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2013. The film portrays the escape of six Americans in Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and misrepresents New Zealand's role in the rescue. According to the movie, the British and New Zealand Embassies turned their backs on the American diplomats, however in fact they helped them to escape Tehran. The New Zealand Parliament formally expressed its regret at the portrayal of New Zealand in the film, stating: 'That this House acknowledge[s] with gratitude the efforts of former New Zealand diplomats Chris Beeby and [second secretary] Richard Sewell in assisting American fugitives or hostages in Tehran during the hostage crisis in 1979 and expresses its regret that the director of the movie Argo saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened during that crisis when in reality our courageous New Zealand diplomats' inspirational actions were of significant help to the American hostages and deserve the factual and historic record to be corrected.' Affleck has since admitted that the film casts Britain and New Zealand 'in a way that is not totally fair'. (New Zealand Herald, 12 March 2013) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
