About The Author

David White

David White studied producing at England’s National Film and TV School. By then he’d already co-produced documentary Shihad: Beautiful Machine (2012). His own documentary Meat - which introduces audiences to three farmers and a hunter - had a successful cinema release in 2017. It is one of a number of projects in which White chronicles people who kill animals, so that others may eat them. After acting in one of his own films, White went on to write, direct and co-star in 2020 romantic comedy This Town.

Angus Gillies is the author of the so-called Ruatoria Killings series of non-fiction investigations. He has worked as a journalist and producer at TV3 for 20 years, and has written biographies of Matthew Ridge, Adam Parore, Justin Marshall and John Rowles.
