New Zealander Zoe McIntosh directs this documentary about Rob Moodie, a straight man who turns up in court to defend himself on contempt charges calling himself Miss Alice and wearing the frock to prove it. We see that his fearlessness bespeaks a principled confidence about who he is, which is miraculous considering his disintegrated upbringing and the many different lines of work – farmer, mechanic, detective, trade unionist, barrister – to which he has successfully put his hand since. Professional associates and family members fill out this fascinating encounter with a one-of-a-kind self-made man.

Lost in Wonderland describes a fascinating journey through the life and times of a man whose family was broken apart forever when he was only seven years old; who was told he was stupid and worthless because he was poor; and who grew up unsure about who and what he was, until he made a remarkable discovery – that he was not stupid at all. In fact, he had more than enough intellectual resources to take on anyone, and win. And so he has - battling for truth, justice, and the right to wear nylon stockings.

“…a confident and evocative film with a haunting "cinematic" quality, exploring family dysfunction and how individual will-power can lift people out of the most disadvantaged situations"   (Cliff Taylor, NZ Sunday Herald)
