CGiii Comment

Taking as its starting point a cluster of killings in Auckland city in 2003-2004, An Ordinary Person unpacks the use of the law of provocation as the notorious 'gay panic defense' to murder. Interviews with lawyers, legal academics and a journalist are inter-cut with a stylized dramatization, telling a story that continues to have an underestimated cultural power.
