More than 1,000 copies of the new book Heart of the Protest have been distributed across New Zealand within days of arrival in the country, signalling strong public engagement with one of the most contested chapters in the country’s recent history.
The independently published book, co-authored by writer Siân Clement and filmmaker Gaylene Barnes, expands on Barnes’s similarly self-distributed film River of Freedom which reached number one at the New Zealand box office. Both document the 2022 Parliament protest with first-hand accounts from the Kiwis who gathered there in opposition to the COVID-19 mandates and in pursuit of democratic accountability.
Heart of the Protest expands on the film but dives deeper, weaving these stories alongside analysis of political decisions and media coverage from the time, raising broader questions around civil liberties, the constitution and the role of government during emergencies.
Clement and Barnes are calling on all sitting Members of Parliament to engage directly with those perspectives. “These were not abstract voices — they were constituents,” they said in an open letter. “The fact that over 1,000 copies have already been distributed nationwide reflects a clear and ongoing public interest in these experiences.”
Early reviews have been highly positive, similar to those for River of Freedom about which Graeme Tuckett of Stuff, noted: ‘Let me hear from people who have been excluded and belittled for a generation or more, for whom “the mandates” were a bridge too far.’
Media commentator Maree Buscke says: ‘What Heart of the Protest does is restore humanity to the hundreds of thousands who felt systematically dehumanised by government, media, and sadly, sometimes, even friends and family. It reminds us that every person present at that protest had a story to tell — each one different, yet bound by a common thread: the freedom to choose.’
Heart of the Protest arrives at a critical moment with Parliament due to formally respond to the Royal Commission findings in a few months, and political parties focusing their messaging ahead of the election. With rapid sales, Heart of the Protest is positioned to be one of the most talked-about releases of the year.

This touches my heart
Wonder how its popularity stacks up against Cindy’s biography……? My guess is the latter is coming to bargain bin near you…..
Never ever ever ever forget the Judge who overuled the parents of a young child who could not speak or defend a forced jab being pepertrated on the child The child did not want the jab. He was the smart one. The parents also did not want their child to have the jab. The Judge should be charged with attempted murder. This is real Nazi regime stuff this Judge is in the veins of Josef Mengele who experimented on Concentration camp prisoners in WWII.
Government propaganda was fully active for COVID-19 in deceiving the masses into receiving a poison injection.
But what if a similar, or even greater, level of propaganda was launched by the “allied” nations after WWII in portraying National Socialist Germany as “evil” and the allied nations as “goodness and light”?
I would encourage you to critically re-examine the narrative that the post-WWII world order was built upon. You may very well discover it just as demonic as the COVID narrative.
Well done to the author’s.
This article…

contains very important information about the status of the mRNA experiment gene therapy that can be used against the perpetrators of the injection regime carried out during the COn-of-the-century-VID scamdemic.
“If it’s not a vaccine, what is it? The FDA’s own Guidance for Industry: Human Gene Therapy Products defines gene therapy as products that “modify the expression of a gene” or “alter the biological properties of living cells.” mRNA products are literally designed to enter your cells and instruct them to produce a foreign protein. That is, by the FDA’s own published criteria, gene therapy. It’s experimental. It was always an experiment.
And if it’s experimental, then informed consent was legally required under the NUREMBERG CODE (1947), which states: “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” Not optional. Not a nice-to-have. REQUIRED. The Code further provides that the person involved must “have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.”
Bring back the gallows. Justice must be seen to be done.
Absolutely. Those that are in the firing line need to be MADE to front up to a judiciary that has not been selected by the pro vaxers. Any Phyzer associations need to be weeded out.
