## Resource

A gripping new documentary, “Last Man Standing,” premiering this weekend at the New Zealand International Film Festival, resurrects the political legacy of Jim Anderton — the fiery anti-free-market rebel who split from Labour, founded The Alliance, and pushed bold policies like Kiwibank, paid parental leave, and student loan freezes. As The Alliance prepares for the 2026 election, reviving Anderton’s principled, people-first vision, the film captures why his story — and its relevance to today’s cost-of-living crisis — resonates more than ever with a new generation hungry for change.
